Personal convictions are something that must not be judged. I have had a lot of experience in my life with personal convictions. I believe that the Lord places different things on different people’s hearts. Paul discusses how to handle this in Romans chapter 13 and 14. He points out that we must not cause another to stumble. Although his definition is unclear I had some thoughts pertaining to a possible definition. I have always heard that we shouldn’t cause another to sin, which is true. However, I’m not sure that this is the core concept because sin is a choice that man makes for himself. In my own experience I would define this as not performing any deed or speaking any word that would cause a brother or sister in Christ to compromise any conviction that the Lord has laid on their hearts. This means that we must encourage them with scripture, prayer and words of support.
