    What distractions keep you from being an effective witness for Jesus Christ? One of the chief distractions is focusing on the minor differences between us, instead of building each other up in love. Paul takes this topic head-on in Romans 14.

Have you ever had an important task to do—a paper to write, an assignment at work to complete, a check book that needs to be balanced?
