Step 5 of “Considering Others” is based on Romans 14:10-12. Judging is God’s province. However, Christians want to play God and criticize, or look down on other believers. Our responsibility is to love one another. Only God knows the heart of man.Just how serious is this issue? So great that Paul reminded believers of a coming universal judgment by God. Wow! The LifeWay Leader Guide (p. 99) indicates Paul essentially says, “How dare you?”!
Show a list of the names of local restaurants and ask members to
call out the ones they prefer and the ones they dislike. Some people will like some places that others will dislike. Ask, “should we criticize one another over restaurant choices?” Of course not. “Should we look down on someone who likes to eat different foods than we do?” Of course not! It is silly to cause division over choice of restaurants.
