Friends in Christ,
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are week. ( 1 Corinthians 8:9)
You have all heard of the well-known expression " you cannot have your cake and eat it". This applies to many aspects of our lives, but also to our lives as Catholic Christians. Perhaps we ask ourselves the question:" How much may I indulge in and still be saved". But... God forbid! We should rather ask ourselve the question:" What about Christ's will and the example I set for my fellow Christians?". Yesterday I talked about the Catholic Christian's Mission by encouragement and exemple and this applies to everything we do, especially in the company of others. May we never be afraid to make a stand in front of others, when it comes to parttaking in a seedy joke or watching a television program, which is in conflict with us being Holy.
With every good wish in Christ,
Ed Bakker......
