So I just read through 1 corinthians 8 for the second time

yesterday I just couldn't focus on what I was reading

however tonight God hit me with something

He hit me with the fact that sometimes

it's easy to get comfortable in our rights

and in our rights harm the walk of a brother or sister in Christ

one who may be a little weaker in the faith than we are

or maybe just a new believer

1 Corinthians 8:⁷ However, not everyone has this knowledge. In fact, some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food offered to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled.⁸ Food will not make us acceptable to God. We are not inferior if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat. ⁹ But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if someone sees you, the one who has this knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, won’t his weak conscience be encouraged to eat food offered to idols? ¹¹ Then the weak person, the brother for whom Christ died, is ruined^[b] by your knowledge. ¹² Now when you sin like this against the brothers and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ. ¹³ Therefore, if food causes my brother to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won’t cause my brother to fall.

Think about this though

not so much as a food standpoint here in america

we don't really worry about that kind of stuff

but in our everyday culture there are things that we are allowed to do

things that God doesn't say is wrong yet some people grew up believing they were wrong

NO I DON'T MEAN LIKE DRUMS IN CHURCH lol

Just think a new brother in Christ who was always taught

that all secular music was bad

now if I know this and I have that person in my car

is it really putting on a front to not listen to secular music

or is it simply me saying I don't want secular music to be the downfall of my brother

it's got nothing to do with my reputation

I know God isn't aiming at me with a lightning bolt if I listen to secular music

(in now way am I saying all secular music is okay. . 

some really is garbage)

But they may not know that right now.

So when I'm with them we switch on the ol K-Love

and Jam

If I'm alone and some oldschool backstreet boys is on while I'm scrolling through

the stations thats whats up 

or if I'm with friends who also know that God isn't aiming with a lightning bolt

at every vehicle playing secular music lol 

The point is to not in our knowledge of truth cause one to stumble

but instead in our love to build them up

as it says in 

1 Corinthians 8

Knowledge inflates with pride, but love builds up
