Rev. Lane Burgland, pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Churubusco, Indiana, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Corinthians 8.
A lot of churches are talking about their rights these days. “If food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat,” Paul says in chapter 8. Paul shows the Corinthians that love comes before freedom. While our fellow Christians may be “weak,” immature, or even incorrect on certain issues, it’s more important to preserve their souls than to enjoy our rights—regardless of how we see them, God values them at the price and worth of the blood of Jesus Christ. It’s more than worth it to abstain from exercising our rights, regardless of how reasonable or justifiable they may be, for our brother’s sake.
