Weak "Faithers" Welcome
May 07, 2017
"As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions." - Romans 14:1, ESV
We sometimes pounce on the weak with our own opinions.
They are struggling to believe, to find their places in God's purpose, to discover some definition of themselves in Him, and to understand His calling.
Then we start scratching at some area of weakness or prodding at some point of contention, sanding the rough spots of their growing edges. We discourage them with our quarreling and crush their spirits with our compulsion for absolute accuracy over every fine point.
It is as if we do not believe that the one who began a good work in them is capable of completing it.. Paul says that we should embrace a spirit of welcome, especially for the weak of faith.
Is the weak "faither" welcome in our community?
For each of us here, the word, "welcome" is a preview of a great welcome to come.
