Revelation 2:14
‘But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.’
The churches and their leaders are mimicking the mistakes referred to here in this verse. No true follower of Christ will agree with evil, or remain silent about it. Only those who are deceived and have a covenant made with the world will promote and thus place stumbling blocks n the way of people finding the Lord. Placing a stumbling block that leads others towards sin is a SIN to me. And there are a huge number of things in our lives that are or will be stumbling blocks to others.
Remember to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, put on Christ and be a light into this world. We should and will be a counter-culture to the world’s destructive and demonized patterns of anguish and addiction. This is why we must stand up for what is right(eous). Not because it politically fits or is popular. Not because it promotes that man is basically good. But because ‘we’ are lights and emit the Truth into a world that is headed for hell. We are becoming the lone voices in the wilderness preaching and teaching the powerful, Good News of Jesus Christ.
To know the Truth and not to live it or speak it, is to deny the Truth. Denying the Truth reveals that the Truth is not in you! I believe it is a sin NOT to lead people to the holiness and righteousness of Christ. After all, God created us to be made in His image. Any promotion of the world or secular humanism is contrary to our calling. Thus we become a stumbling block as was Balaam. Balaam sabotaged God’s truth by promoting evil and sinful desires that entice the flesh of God’s people. That is why we try not to promote evil desires nor remain quiet as people are plummeting toward hell.
Rise up Church and stand for righteousness and walk in it also.
Are you a stumbling block?
