My cell group had bible study tonight and it was rather interesting. The reading was taken from Romans 14, 15:1-13, which basically talks about our convictions on certain "disputable" matters and how we should handle it.
I've always struggled to understand how God can put different convictions on different people. I mean, if both are strong grounded Christians, how can one be convicted so strongly, for instance, that drinking is alright whereas the other person totally disagrees. And there, begins the dispute that could eventually split a church. Also, very often I struggled to fully understand and to know my convictions from God. I know it's a very subjective and spiritual matter that differs from each individual but I just feel like blogging about it.
Then when you have that conviction, there's the whole other issue of owning that conviction. Meaning to say, to stay firm and rooted on what you're convicted. That's even harder, I think. Many times when I have a conviction, confusion and obligationcomes into the picture and messes things up. Confusion because I don't exactly know what to do next or how should I do it and obligation because I may feel obligated to do something that I'm convicted I shouldn't be doing. How?
It's 4.01am now, so just excuse me if I'm not making any sense here. Brain juice's running out. Those were just thoughts that were running in my head that I'm convicted to blog about.
