Romans 14:1-4 — It is inevitable that when Christians come together in the church there will be differences of opinion over matters of conscience. Wherever the Bible is not prescriptive the Christian has liberty to come to their own conclusions and this is why these differences arise. Thankfully this is not a new phenomenon! The Apostle Paul addressed this issue in his letter to the Romans and in doing so, the Holy Spirit has given us vital principles for dealing with our differences in a manner that expresses our love and maintains our unity.
