1 Corinthians 8:8-9, 13 – “Food will not bring us close to God.” We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak…Therefore, if food is the cause of their falling, I will never eat meat, so that I may not cause one of them to fall.
“Do no harm,” is part of the oath of new physicians, and this scripture seems to be saying the same thing to us in our dealings with each other on matters of faith.
Prayer: Merciful God, help us nurture the faith of those who come before us today. AMEN.
