focused on the heart

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval. 19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. 22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.(Romans 14:13-21

Some real advice to live by here from Paul. Do this . . . don't do that . . . this is right, but that is wrong. We are quick to judge others'actions, but not as quick to look into one another's hearts. Many times we accept what we do, yet say what another does is so wrong. As believers, we must be careful that we do not tempt others to sin by our actions. However, we must also remember that what is temptation for one, may not be a stumbling block for all. Be careful when judging actions and let's be focused on the heart of people, so as to win them for Christ! Remember from whence we once came . . .
