Stumbling Blocks

Paul tells us that if someone honestly believes that doing a certain thing is sin--even if it falls under the liberty we have in Christ--to them it is sin. For me to encourage them to do that thing they believe is sin is to be a stumbling block in their growth to spiritual maturity. God's not very pleased with stumbling blocks. Be a building block instead--love them, encourage them, build them up where they are and let the Holy Spirit do the teaching and changing. To truly embrace the liberty that I have in Christ is to be willing to give it all up in order to not be a stumbling block to others. Wouldn't it be sadly--tragically--ironic to condemn someone else for being a Pharisee and thus become the biggest Pharisee of them all? Spiritual pride is so subtly infectious.
