Consider This...

We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. (Romans 15:1 NLT)

American Christianity is too much about the individual and not enough about the "group." We regularly place our own personal interests above those of others, even when our pursuits might hurt others spiritually. Since it's true that no man lives to himself or dies to himself...we MUST consider the consequences of our actions/reactions on others. Paul couldn't have put it any clearer: "We must not just please ourselves," especially in areas that have the potential of harming another person's walk with God.
