Accept the One Whose Faith is Weak

Key Verse: 14:1
First, for the Lord we live or die (1-8). Christians are different in our culture and level of faith. We must not judge others but accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters such as eating meat or considering one day more sacred than another. None of us should live for ourselves alone, but whether we live or die, eat meat or not, we must do all by faith and for the Lord.
Second, we will all stand before God's judgment seat (9-12). Christ died and rose to life so that he might be the Lord and judge of both the dead and the living. We should not judge others, or compare with others but each one should do what pleases the Lord. For we all should give an account of ourselves to the Lord who will judge each of us.
Prayer: Lord, help us not judge but accept others whose faith is weak. Help me please the Lord who will judge all.
One Word: Live for the Lord!
