Scripture:  Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. (1 Corinthians 8:4-6 ESV)

Observation: This is the perspective that we must constantly remember in a lost world.

Application: When we speak to others regarding Jesus and the gospel, we must remember that they may have different beliefs.  This does not change the gospel or it's validity and instead increases the urgency of telling it.  We speak, God does the rest!

Prayer: Daddy, let my actions not be a stumbling block for others and if I am am, make it known to me, so I can change.  Not my my own power, but through the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
