YOU MIGHT BE AN OBSTACLE


1 Corinthians 8:12
And thus, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
There are habits and practices that you had before you became a Christian that need to be unlearned. New believers that are still in early development are watching you and witnessing what you say and do, so you should be careful with your tongue and your actions. You don't want to be someone's stumbling block, or worse yet, the cause of someone backsliding. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 8:9, “But take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.” Be ready to unlearn those practices that can cause a weaker brother or sister in Christ to stumble. Besides, it wouldn't kill you to lose a few bad habits. What bad habits do you have that you know could cause someone else to stumble?
