Are You A Stepping Stone or Stumbling Block?

1606Romans 14:13
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.

A few weeks ago there was a friend of me asking about whether drinking alcohol is a sin or not. In the Bible, there is no verse or passage that says drinking is a sin. But, there are many scriptures that tell us drinking in excess is a sin. Anything in excess, no matter how good, can become sin. Using drinking as an example, one reason I advocate abstinence is that drinking may not be a sin, but it could be a stumbling block for someone else.
We need to be aware of the things we say and do because others will be watching and listening and we want them to see the Christ in us. Again, everyone is responsible for their own choices and actions, but the Word clearly tells us we have a responsibility to be a stepping stone for others, not a stumbling block.
It is no accident you work where you work; go to school where you go to school, shop where you whop, and play where you play, live where you live. God has divinely placed you where you are to be a light, an example, a stepping stone in the lives of those you come in contact with each day. Take this responsibility very seriously and let others see and hear the Christ that lives within you.
