Romans 14:1-12

Wow, another challenging devotional.

Truth be told, I generally find the Christians at my workplace to be unlikable.

They're Republican sock puppets and spend a lot more time hand-wringing about big government and taxes and wealth redistribution than about helping the poor or the disadvantaged.

One guy is the type who will spend all night in flame wars with atheists on user interest group distribution lists. He's the kind of guy who likes to stand over someone and gloat that he won and he was smarter.

Another guy clearly gives off the vibe that, he is a superior person for his spirituality.

Yet, they are both Christians. I feel like Paul is almost telling me, "spend less time worrying about how they live as Christians and worry about your own self."

But isn't the weak-faithed vegetable eater too dependent on works versus faith? Yes, at the end of the day, it's between that person and God, but isn't it a clearly wrong spiritual place to be in? Maybe I need more context. I'm ordering that study bible today... :)
