Discussion Questions

1.   What is the difference between unity and uniformity? Is it possible to have one without the other? Which one does Paul write about in Romans?

2.   What is the purpose of spiritual triage (the bullseye)? How does this help us to focus on the things that are most important to our faith?

3.   What is the significance of the issues that Paul addresses in Romans 14? Why were these issues picked? What historical context helps us understand these issues better?

4.   How does Paul classify such issues as food laws and Sabbath in this passage? If Paul were to write Romans 14 to Christians in our culture today, what issues do you think he would bring up? Are there any issues he would want to address in your heart?

5.   How do the concepts of God’s judgment and our judgment interact? What are the implications of Paul’s assertions that we should not judge each other, but we will give an account to God?
