You are the cause of their death

We stand as if we are not complicit
we act as if there is no result,
choosing which laws to follow,
casting the other ones out.
It is true that we are freed
because Christ paid the price
but not all believers understand this
and our actions may cast them out.

You are the cause of their death,
their fall from holy grace,
if they are led away by your action
using the freedom in this way.
If we fail to be mindful,
of weak believers who may be watching
they may be destroyed by our own actions
in liberty taken for granted.
