Scripture
Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.
Observation
We need to look out for those around us. Behaviors do not have to be sinful to be offensive. Knowingly causing someone to stumble is sin.
Application
Being aware of my actions and how they may effect the people around me is important. Just because I am not convicted of a behavior does not give me license to act out said behavior if it is offensive to others. I am to be an encouragement to others not a deterrent.
Prayer
Father, help me to be aware of the people around me. To be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's conviction and to the feelings of those around me. Help me edify my brothers.
