Being An Example
I was reading Romans 14 a while ago and thinking a bit about some things that have struck a controversial cord of some sort with different folks - for instance, the Buffy debate from last October.
For now, I’ll say this: old habits and addictions, as well as personal tastes, likes and dislikes can only be changed by one person, and that person is God. The key to this is an individual’s willingness to allow God to change him or her as s/he strives to become more like God. If I applied this to ME, then I would say that my interests and habits change or stay the same because it reflects how much I’m willing to give up in order to draw closer to God in my relationship with Him. (Y’know, there’s that holiness factor.)
It’s always easier to say all this than to actually do it, and because of this, striving to be an example for a “younger” and “weaker” believer is never easy. But hey, reality always works wonders for that perfection measurement scale, doesn’t it?
