The Law of Love in the Church

The Christian church on earth is never a showcase of perfect people, but more like a hospital of recovering sinners, who are to assist each other in this journey of recovery. True believers in Jesus Christ come from many different backgrounds, cultures, and ways of life, with various life stories, and have different personalities, and different levels of faith. These differences can create tension and disharmony in the church, but the Lord has given very clear and extensive directions on dealing with these issues. This is the subject of this series of lectures, with a focus on the Scriptures from Romans 14 and 15.

  In this lecture, Pastor A. T. Vergunst gives us yet another principle for avoiding disharmony and division in the church, and this time he addresses the weak in the faith and how they perceive the strong. He includes a list of criteria for determining whether brethren show themselves to be genuine Christians, and he shows that God gives us three reasons why the weak in the faith ought not to judge the strong in the faith for the use of their Christian liberties.
