How much do I love my brother?<\/p>\n
Enough that I won’t allow my liberty to become a source of stumbling to him?<\/p>\n
Enough that I won’t allow my knowledge to cause him to perish (Romans 8:11)?<\/p>\n
Enough that I won’t knowingly wound his weak conscience (Romans 8:12)?<\/p>\n
Enough that I won’t make him to offend (Romans 8:13)?<\/p>\n
Do I love my brother that much?<\/p>\n
Theoretically, yes.<\/p>\n
In practice, I don’t know.<\/p>\n
I know this — I want to love my brother as much as I profess to love Christ.<\/p>\n
