Keeping Opinions Between You and God
Reading: Romans 14:22 - So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
Devotional: Paul addresses the reality that believers will hold different opinions on matters that Scripture does not settle with a single clear command. His instruction is striking: those convictions belong between you and God. The sermon illustrated this with the example of musical preferences in a local church. What we prefer is not automatically the standard. When we elevate our preferences to the level of principle, we create division where Scripture calls for unity. Humility in the area of belief means holding our opinions with an open hand, not a clenched fist. What personal preference have you been treating as a non-negotiable, and how might releasing it serve the people around you?
