Accepted in the Beloved-Romans 14:1-4

The old Puritan William Gurnall wrote about Christian liberty saying, "Liberty is the Diana of our times. O what apologies are made for some suspicious practices: long hair, gaudy, garish apparel, spotted faces, naked breasts! These have been called to the bar in former times and censured by sober and solid Christians as things at least suspicious and of no good report, but now they have hit on a more favorable jury that find them not guilty; yea, many are so fond of them that they think Christian liberty is wronged in their censure. Professors are so far from holy jealousy that should make them watch their hearts, lest they go too far, that they stretch their consciences to come up tot he full length of their tether, as if he were the brave Christian that could come nearest the pit of sin and not fall in" (Christian in Complete Armor). There are a lot of freedoms that Christians have in Christ, issues of conscience that are not specifically addressed in Scripture that are gray areas. This coming Lord's Day we begin the next section of Romans on Christian liberty or freedom in Christ. Join us for "Accepted in the Beloved" (Rom 14:1-4).
