Rom 14:1 - 15:13

Herein we are reminded of the God of acceptance. Whilst we humans may find ourselves judging and condemning one another with regard to disputable matters (a was the case here in vv.1-4 where some may have been eating meat offered to idols (cf. 1 Cor. ch. 8)), God accepts both parties.
In a similar vein, we must also be careful of not condemning those who have a differing view to us on whether we should accept one day as more sacred thah another (cf. Rom 14:5-6). I was reminded of this in a discussion with a keen Christian just recently. He held to the view that Sunday was to be the Lord's day. For him this was possible as he works at a job within normal waking hours. However, for me I had worked shift work for over 20 years in order to support my family and this included weekend work. Praise the Lord that though some may hold strongly to the view that one day is more sacred than another, God had accepted me who was caught in the unenviable position of having to work on weekends. Further to this, I thank God for His instruction here, for I also must accept my brother in Christ who has a differing opinion to myself on what can only be seen as a disputable, rather than an essential matter.
