It is something I will be touching on in my series on Love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. My second post in this series will be talking about patience with other Christians and this is one of the things I hit on, though briefly, in that post. The more 'mature' Christians should be patient with new Christians, it takes time to grow in your faith and God chooses when to convict you over certain things. As Christians the best things we can do to help others are: to live our lives so that they do not cause others to stumble (in the way God leads us too), pray for them, and as you said encourage them in study and prayer. Thanks for the post I thoroughly enjoyed it.Christa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01938098794721991454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314337119339520012.post-65895765693013375812013-11-08T17:05:18.194-05:002013-11-08T17:05:18.194-05:00That's a fantastic takeaway, Chuck.

Later, I realized they both honored God by following their individual conscience. I think that is the essence of Romans 14. As you read The Hiding Place, you see that God had a very different role for Corrie and Nollie to fulfill. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!

Years later I still think I'm still more like her- I love that you said they were both honoring God and God certainly used them all. Helps some of my 'guilt' at not always trusting God as I should. He knows my heart and His grace is enough. <br /><br />Great post.TC Aveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686886257486186821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314337119339520012.post-17101941021090723562013-11-06T14:17:58.814-05:002013-11-06T14:17:58.814-05:00Thanks, Betty.
