*-I.
DEALING WITH DIFFERENCES.
(Romans 14:1-Romans 15:7)*
* *
-A.
.
Paul is focusing on questionable matters in our Christian life.
What should sincere Christians do when we disagree?
-1.
There are in the church mature Christians.
-2.
Immature Christians.
-B.
In this section.
Paul gives six basic principles  that help us as Christians deal with our differences.
-1.
I would add differences shouldn’t divide.
-2.
last week is an example.
-3.
Worship is an example.
-4.
This is why I like the BFM.
It gives us an adequate guide to fellowship.
-5.
We can also recognize that there are other Christians outside the SBC, and we ought to treat them as brothers and sisters in Christ.
-C.
Question #1---Am I Fully Convinced?
(Romans 14:1-5)
 
-1.
Most fights come from our emotions……not disagreements, but I am saying divisive fights.
-2.
Paul here is exhorting the Romans to not act on their emotions, but from a settled conviction.
These convictions are the result of diligent prayer and study of the Word.
-a.
An opinion is what we hold, a conviction is what holds us.
-b.
Think about I Corinthians 13.
-c.
Many theological discussions are over matters that are not essential to the faith.
-3.
The reality is that people have a lot of different opinions in our church at Temple.
It is my desire and prayer as pastor that each person feel the freedom to share his convictions without fear of being kicked out, or made to feel less than human for differences.
-4.
Again, I can speak to Calvinism.
This scares some people, and some people act out of a negative emotion.
Thinking it is heretical.
I do not consider myself a 5 pointer at this time in my life.
I do not have a conviction from the Lord.
I have turned this matter on to the Lord God and pray.
-a.
Father, I understand their position, but I do not agree based on a conviction it is right.
Please show me the truth.
-b.
I can be friend with them.
I can serve with them.
I consider them godly men and women.
-5.
I think we ought to realize the difference between an opinion and a conviction.
-D.
Question #2   Am I Doing This Unto the Lord?  (Romans 14:6-9)
 
                        -1.
Now notice the phrase “to the Lord.”
-2.
This is how we are to live life.
-3.
If you believe that you are to raise your hands, do it for the Lord, not for show.
-4.
What Paul is saying?
If you believe something…then why are you doing it?
-a.
For the Glory of God.
            -b.
Or for your own glory.
-c.
Don’t do it to offend.
-d.
Don’t do it to only please men.
-e.
Act out of a conviction to the Lord.
-5.
But think with me about some questionable things a Christian might do.
-a.
drinking alcohol.
-b.
some do.
-c.
some don’t.
-d.
but the question is Can I do this to the Lord?
            -e.
Will this bring honor and glory to God?
 
-6.
Look at verse 8---we belong to the Lord.
He is our master.
a.
Dear friend if God has given you a liberty in a certain manner that is no directly prohibited in Scripture?
That’s between you and God.
* *
*                                    *-b.
The question is do you have the peace of God in it.
-E.
Question #3  Will it stand the test at the judgment seat?  (Romans 14:10-12)
 
                        -1.
Verse 10 gives us the wrong attitude to have toward other Christians.
-a.
This doesn’t mean we can’t judge.
-b.
It means don’t have a judgemental attitude.
-2.
Who is the judge?
It is Jesus.
-a.
Christians not judged on salvation.
-b.
Christians judged on our works.
-3.
Paul tells the mature and immature the reality is that you might fool people, but in the end you can’t full God.
