Why Do Christians Care So Much About What Other Christians Do?

Nathan continues his solo run on These Go To 11 as he tackles one of the more uncomfortable questions in the Christian life: Why are we so concerned with what other Christians are doing?

Looking at Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 8, Matthew 7, Galatians 5, and Colossians 2, Nathan explores the difference between biblical discernment and judgmentalism, conviction and legalism, and Christian freedom and selfishness. Why do we so often turn personal preferences into biblical commandments, and why can being “right” sometimes become more important than being loving?

The goal isn't to care less about truth or holiness. It's to learn how to pursue both while remembering that the Christian sitting next to us belongs to Christ, not to us.

And Nathan leaves us with a question worth wrestling with: What if one of the greatest threats to Christian unity isn't disagreement—but our inability to allow faithful Christians to disagree?
