Do we cause others to think?

As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. (Proverbs 27:17)
Well there goes the "Don't JUDGE me!" line! As in many other areas of the Bible, both new and Old Testament (google the verses), we as a Body of believers are in fact to hold one another accountable to the ways of Scripture. We are to keep watch on one another, meet together regularly, and encourage one another to stand firm in our CHRISTian lifestyle. (Hebrews 10:24-25) We are not a called out people to "fit in" after all. (1 Peter 2:9) We are to be different from the rest in order draw others to Christ and to keep fellow believers in communion. As we walk contrary to the world, those in the world see a difference and will question our faith. Think about this: Does our faith in Christ cause others to doubt their beliefs? It should . . . .
