What does Jesus really mean when He warns us not to cause others to stumble? In "Don’t Mess People Up," Jeff Piepho unpacks Mark 9:41-50 and shows how seriously God takes the way we influence others. Jesus uses strong language—like cutting off a hand or gouging out an eye—to teach that sin is dangerous and contagious. Instead of dragging people down, we’re called to lift them up.
We are salt in this world, bringing flavor, joy, and holiness into a culture that desperately needs it. That means avoiding behaviors that tempt others, setting aside personal “rights” when they could cause someone to stumble, and actively building others up in faith.
This week’s challenge: be salt and light—encourage someone, stop gossip, choose kindness, or reconcile where there’s tension.
Don’t be a stumbling block. Be a servant who points people closer to Jesus.
