Beware Of A Judgmental Spirit!
Judge not, that you be not judged. Matthew 7:1
|
A young married man began going to a pornography store. When his parents learned of this, they gently and tactfully confronted him, but made no accusations. The son responded with anger and said that he saw no harm in what he was doing. He accused his parents of being judgmental. With broken hearts they had to stand by and watch him as he left his wife and family, lost his job, and eventually ruined his life.
Many people today would say that his parents had no right to imply that he was doing wrong. They may even quote Jesus' words: "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1).
But the Bible makes it clear that we are responsible to humbly confront fellow believers when we see them caught in sin (Galatians 6:1-2). These parents were lovingly doing just that.
Jesus wasn't saying we shouldn't confront sin. He was saying we must be very careful in making judgments. Paul wrote that love thinks no evil (1 Corinthians 13:5). We must give others the benefit of the doubt, recognizing our own limitations. And we must reject any feeling of spiritual superiority, lest we also fall into sin.
Confronting someone is a serious responsibility. Exercise it carefully, and always beware of judging. Herb Vander Lugt
Your Word instructs us not to judge;
So, Lord, we humbly pray,
"Restrain our lips when we would speak
The things we should not say." D. De Haan
Judge yourself before you judge another.

Hi - I looked for my name in the list of those who currently have soldiers serving and didn't see it - not to be confused with repubmommy. I'm "Repubmom" and my son is active duty Army - currently stationed at Ft.Hood with the 1st Cavalry. Thanks for all the prayers and support for our troops!

I am running for Erie County NY Legislature. http://www.RusThompson.com
Last year we started a tax revolt and an orginization called http://www.PrimaryChallenge.org where we helped regular everyday people get on the ballot to run against the incumbents.
We had 6 candidates running and won 2 primaries.
I was narrowly defeated by the political machine in one part of the district by a heavy margin, enough that I couldn't make it up in the rest of the district. How can I say no when people are calling I have never known and my committee grew with the loss. Dedicated people, fed up with taxes and the politics as usaul and of destruction.
But I was defeated by a well orginized smear campaign aimed at certain individuals. I have had people calling me from the 3 parts of the district that I won telling me not to give up the fight and do a write in. So we are.
The taxrevolt will be heating up again due to the fact that the county is getting ready to do it again, we are looking at another sales tax increase and a property tax increase.
If they don't act on this budget it will go in by default with a 70% property tax increase.
