FBCHS Bible Study - "For None of us Life to Himself" 05/17 by Gospel Gold | Music: 'For none of us liveth to himself ' Romans 14:7-19 That is, none of us believers; others may, but these do not, at least they ought not, nor do they when under the influence of the grace of God: they do not live, neither to righteous, nor to sinful self; they do not live upon their duties and services; nor do they ascribe their life, righteousness, and salvation to them; nor do they live to their own lusts, or make provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof, and much less to the lusts and wills of others: This verse must be read and understood in the context of the verse that follows. Paul has insisted that whatever side someone is on in one of the disputed matters in the early church, each person should be fully convinced of his or her position and participate (or not) to honor the Lord. Strictly speaking, those who associate sin with things God has not explicitly condemned are considered those 'weak in faith' (Romans 14:1). However, those who embrace their Christian freedom in that are not to look down on those who are more convicted. And, those with more restrictive opinions should not judge those who don't share their view (Romans 14:3). Christians ultimately answer to God, not to each other (Romans 14:4; Colossians 2:16–23).

“Cure or Painkiller”

 

The prophet Isaiah says that the Lord will be a stumbling block for
many, meaning that the majority of us will have difficulties living the
way we ought to. Working in the field of social justice only seems to
add another dimension to that difficulty. Poverty, economic inequality,
and eradicating racism, sexism, and the like are all issues
that "progressive Christians" care about, but how much do we really say
about how things got this way?

From my experience, the progressive Christian movement has shown that
it can advise its constituency on how to assist in uplifting burdened
communities, but I've noticed an absence in acknowledging what got us --
a collective "us" -- into places of suffering in the first place.

Effective movements all have two key elements: first is a thorough
understanding of the root causes of their issues in order to heal
whatever the "disease" may be. The other is an unrelenting commitment
to be a cure and not a treatment. Where we are right now in history
begs the question: Do we want 
a cure or just a painkiller?
