Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Romans 14 today. Most people believe that all of our choices should be dictated by what the Bible says. However, the Bible doesn’t cover everything, which is why the Holy Spirit is our conscience. And as surprising as it sounds, not everyone has the same convictions on certain things. Some people feel guilty over eating meat, or celebrating Halloween, or which Christian artist to listen to. But one person’s conviction over such matters cannot decide what should or should not be the standard. So let your convictions be your convictions, and let others have their own convictions, and if the Holy Spirit asks you to change something, you’d better listen, because that is the moment that it becomes sin. To live by a list of your own rules is to put on a burden that Jesus died to take off. So examine your choices. Is this something you decided, or is it something the Holy Spirit told you was right or wrong?

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20
