But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.
1 Corinthians 8:9

How am I using my freedom; for strengthening or belittling believers?

How do I strengthen a fellow believer?

• Buildup, rather than tear down
• Educate, rather than berate
• Respect, rather than shame
• Love, rather than judge

But am not a strong believer yet? I don’t know all the answers?

• I will always be stronger than someone.
• I will always be weaker than someone.

“God hath not given people knowledge that they thereby should be a means to harm and to destroy, but to do good, and to save others; it is a most absurd thing for any to use their knowledge, therefore, to the destruction of others.” – Matthew Poole

‍

Am I concerned about others, really concerned about them? If I am, I would build, educate, demonstrate love and respect to everyone.

Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
1 Corinthians 10:24
