Can your actions cause someone to stumble?

James 3:10 Out of the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. These
things, my brothers, should not be this way [for we have a moral obligation
to speak in a manner that reflects our fear of God and profound respect for
His precepts].(AMP) Romans14:13 Then let us not criticize one another
anymore, but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a stumbling
block or a source of temptation in another believer’s way.(AMP)

Not all believers are at the same place in their walk with Christ. Some are
just coming out of the world, others have been out the world for a while,
and then there are some that go back and forth. The words that we say or
type, the pictures that we post, have the ability to take someone back down
the road that they have been fighting to get away from. It is easy to go
back where we came from for some, because we were in the world longer than
we have been Christians. Brethren, may we pray before we speak, post, or
show pictures, because God knows the motives of our hearts. May we never
lead a brother or sister to stumble because of our worldly use of
communication. May we truly understand the fear of the Lord, respect His
precepts, and love His children enough to watch out for them. In Jesus
name, amen.
