Our backgrounds have much to do with what constitutes a stumbling block. For example, if one believer was a heavy drinker before Christ freed him, he will be better off not participating in a barroom ministry. He may think it wrong for any believer to be in a bar, no matter what he’s doing. He may conclude that if the evangelist can be in a bar, so may he. Once there, he’s tempted to drink. It’s his stumbling block. Christ gave up his life for that person. Shouldn’t the evangelist at least be willing to change where and how he takes Christ’s message, for the sake of that person?
