Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2244677/fan_mail/new] “Vision”… just mention the word “Vision” and it stirs up a myriad of very impassioned opinions. It is a word that has varied meanings and inferences depending on what circle of faith you are in.

There is to be a kind and gracious consideration of those who do not yet fully understand that in Christ, believers are liberated from rules, regulations, and requirements that are often perceived as necessary for salvation… great care is to be taken so that “liberty” does not become a stumbling block in another believer’s faith walk. In this episode we take a look at Romans 14 and I Corinthians 8 and the use, meaning, and implications of “do not put a stumbling block in your brothers way”
