Grieved...

I recently learned that some former members of my church have now taken up social drinking. They say they are happy now in their Christian life because the restraints have been removed. I fear where this is heading. Sure we have liberty but what about those brothers or sisters who stumble with this? Romans 14 teaches that my liberty is limited if it causes another Christian to stumble. That means I am not at liberty to live any way I choose. Paul says in Ephesians 4 that I am to preserve or maintain the unity of the fellowship. I can't do that if I am not careful with the questionable things I pursue.
