Lunch At The Temple

Today we were invited to have lunch at the local Hindu Temple with a friend. We were asked if we would be offended to eat food that had been dedicated and served to their god. The words of Paul became real today. He said simply don't eat anything that would offend a weaker brother. No one was offended that we would do such a thing so we had a great meal. Our host shared his struggle with leaving Hinduism for Christianity. He came to Jesus about a year ago and is still growing but he shared some amazing insight about God. We also saw the differences in beliefs. They offer food to their god, we thank God for giving us the food. They have to say their gods name 25000 times a day to cleanse themselves; we have the blood of Jesus that makes us clean and righteous. Thank God for the BLOOD of Jesus!
