       Verse 23: “Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.” Whatever it is that we have decided to do, we are to be fully convinced in our own minds that what we are doing is not sin. In doubting, we show we have a lack of faith, and it also shows that we better stay away from whatever it is that we are doubting about. People have different levels of faith. The point is that if we are doing something publicly and we know that others are likely going to see it as sin, we’d better keep that thing to ourselves. We should not press people into doing anything they really don’t want to do. That causes the person to sin, and surely, that’s not something that anybody wants. Now, all this being said, we realize that we cannot keep all the people happy all the time. Surely, for a few, they are going to get offended by most things, for they are very weak brothers and sisters. There are whole churches who will get offended by lots of things.
