To Live Below With Saints We Know
Why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:10

Romans 14:1-13 ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2014:1-13&version=NKJV )
One man recently observed that when he goes to work, everyone functions as a team and advances the cause of the corporation. But when he goes to church or to denominational meetings, he often finds a group that fusses, carps, complains, and criticizes one another.
Paul anguished over the same thing in Romans 14 and 15. He grieved over the fact that the early Christians fussed about whether to eat a Jewish or non-Jewish diet, whether to eat meat sacrificed to idols, and whether to keep certain holidays and holy days.
Having devoted much of Romans to the essential doctrine of justification by grace through faith, Paul devoted much of these two subsequent chapters to telling us to give room to one another to disagree on lesser matters. "Let each be fully convinced in his own mind," he advised in Romans 14:5b.
We don't have to agree about everything to be agreeable. Knowing that Christ is the ultimate judge, we should refrain from judging others and their motives, but instead love them, remaining steadfast in our faith and living out godly lives on earth.
To live above with saints we love, oh, that will be glory; to live below with saints we know, now that's another story.
