Secular:
* Many of us learned our alphabet and our numbers… simple adding and subtracting from our furry friends on Sesame Street.
(slide#1)
* A simple introduction into what would become a world of words and numbers used for communication and other applications beyond our initial understanding…
* We never thought at three or four… with our parents clapping encouragement….
That the question were going to get harder than 1+1
* But all too quickly came high school… (Slide #2)
* And the introduction of the Quadratic formula…
* It freaks me out now… let alone when I was three!
* The fact is both the simple equation and the more complex quadratic formula are true….
* And we can not move (slide # 3) from one to the other in a single move…
* From truth to truth takes some 10-11 years of education!
* We don’t write off a three year old or four year old or  five year old….
Cause they struggle with simple math… we encourage and grow them… neither do we let them make up their own answers…
* Jimmy is new at math so 1+1=3 is okay for him?
* (No slide…)
* A è B model

Biblical:
Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.
2 One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
3 The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
4 Who are you to judge the servant of another?
To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike.
Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. 7 For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother?
Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt?
For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
11 For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD." 12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

 NAU Matthew 18:15 “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.
16 “But if he does not listen /to you/, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.
17 “If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
* Just don’t leave them… take action… restore them…
NAU 1 Corinthians 5:7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are /in fact /unleavened.

14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the /statement/, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
* Freedom to serve Christ, build the body, Love Neighbour

* Application to us… not for us…
* In Romans 14:2-12, Paul gives four reasons why all believers (both strong and weak) should receive all other believers.
They should receive each other because God receives them, because the Lord Sustains each believer, because the Lord is sovereign to each believer, and because the Lord will judge each believer!
Body:

Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.
2 One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
3 The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

7 "I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat.' 8 "But I said, 'By no means, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' 9 "But a voice from heaven answered a second time, 'What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.'
