Worship vs. Preference

Romans 14:2-3 One person believes he may eat anything, but one who is weak eats only vegetables. One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat; and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him.

Why is it that we get distracted from the very thing we say love the most? We all probably have the same goal of wanting to please God. We even have most of the same elements of prayer, bible, singing, and preaching. And yet there are still divisions, distrust, and disappointment in our efforts to unite in real worship towards God.

The Apostle Paul exhorts us to lighten up a little when it comes to the differences in bible versions, song style, and pray content. When the temptation to criticize, look down on, or just plain stew over someone's different preference, remember God is more likely to side with the variety than the dissent.
