This reminds of a story I once read:
A Sunday school teacher asked her kids to draw Jesus' family. She was puzzled by one of the pictures. It was a drawing of some people in an airplane.

She told the child, "I can see the baby Jesus, and Joseph, and Mary, but who is this in front?"

The child said ...

"That is Pontius, the pilot."

Conversations of nothing in particular and conversations of nothingness are two different animals.

Candie - I hope you pray (TO GOD) about this video and test the Spirits. Remain loyal to the One and only Person; whom is Jesus Christ our Lord.

If we obey God it is going to cost other people more than it costs us, and that is where the sting comes in. If we are in love with our Lord, obedience does not cost us anything, it is a delight, but it costs those who do not love Him a good deal. If we obey God it will mean that other people’s plans are upset, and they will gibe us with it - "You call this Christianity?"

We can prevent the suffering; but if we are going to obey God, we must not prevent it, we must let the cost be paid.

Our human pride entrenches itself on this point, and we say - I will never accept anything from anyone. We shall have to, or disobey God. We have no right to expect to be in any other relation than our Lord Himself was in (see Luke 8:2-3).

Stagnation in spiritual life comes when we say we will bear the whole thing ourselves. We cannot. We are so involved in the universal purposes of God that immediately we obey God, others are affected. Are we going to remain loyal in our obedience to God and go through the humiliation of refusing to be independent, or are we going to take the other line and say - I will not cost other people suffering? We can disobey God if we choose, and it will bring immediate relief to the situation, but we shall be a grief to our Lord. Whereas if we obey God, He will look after those who have been pressed into the consequences of our obedience. We have simply to obey and to leave all consequences with Him.

Beware of the inclination to dictate to God as to what you will allow to happen if you obey Him. This is what I see this video does, and I would stay clear of it myself.

Funny you should quote that verse 2 Cor. 6:3 "We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited." That is what my first book addresses: defining these.

If we are with others in Christ we are always in Church. I am in Church with you then even now! I am doing Fantabulous! You can call me anything you like as long as Christ likes it and you don't call me late to dinner. I love Saturdays because I don't work, which, of course is a misnomer because I work hard doing all the domestic chores then. But I delight in things like that in comparison to work. Its like comparing my best days in sin to the hardest costs in Christ ... NO COMPARISON! I'll take a crumb of life over a handful of death any day!

How are you "Persbecctive"? How do you see Jesus today? How do you see your New Creation today? LOL Is the transformation fun? Or is it more than that? Is it fulfilling?

I would love to read that.....I would summarize "stumbling block" as : "Doing anything outside of Christ, behaviorally."
