Handling Our Conscience Differences - Nathan Rages

In this follow-up to last week's message about "Keeping a Clear Conscience", we consider five principles for navigating the challenges of interaction with Christians whose consciences differ from ours in certain areas:
1. Distinguish differences of conscience from bigger issues. (Matt. 23:24, 1Cor. 15:3-4, Gal. 1:8)
2. Think and act graciously toward differing brethren. (Rom. 14:1-6)
3. Never cause a brother to violate his conscience. (Rom. 14:13-15,20-21, 1Cor. 8:9-13)
4. Give up your rights when love requires it. (Rom. 15:1-3, 1Cor. 9:19-23)
5. Celebrate our unity in the biggest things. (Rom. 14:17,15:5-7)
