Divisions or Unity

Romans 13-14

Interesting concepts today...

13:8 Owe no one anything. (Anyone out there owe someone something? Financial Peace University starts August 22 at Cypress UMC. Sign up soon! Or join a class close to where you live www.daveramsey.com ).

13:12 Put on the armor of light. ("Light" is one of my favorite words - Be the light!)

Already divisions in the church over food, drink, and observance of special days. I know of Christian religions that don't celebrate Christmas. Do you think there were people arguing about the sabbath? Do you have a difficult time "keeping" a sabbath?

14:13 Stop passing judgement.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Christians could just concentrate on our shared beliefs instead of our differences?

  1. I find 13:1-5 troubling. How do I reconcile Hitler?

  3. Is it better to be dead or living and working within the system? Jesus chose death. Paul chose working within "the system".
