"Do Not Judge" from Matthew 7:1-6

Judges on Judging: Views from the BenchDo not deal with others before you deal with yourself. Never judge. We must deal with ourselves first. God is the one who will judge - not us. Though the Bible tells us to discipline others we should not judge. Look at our hearts first and check it . Psalm 139:23-24

For in the same way you judge others, you will also reveal the same areas in your life that you are committing a sin.

And sometimes it is easy to "blow up" other people sins while you excuse the sins in your life.

Luke 18:9-14
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Galatians 6:1
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

"If we judge others we are hypocrite"
Matthew 7:5 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Judge yourself first and lovingly help others. It is not our job to judge.
Examine you life daily and overcome everything with the help of the Holy Spirit.



Pastor's Message
Psalm 115:5-8
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
8 Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
The Psalmist is denouncing the idols (carve images) and give a warning to the makers of the idols. We know that idol is futile/useless and without any senses. In other words you cannot expect an idol to listen or to answer. Now, in contrast to our God - the God who hears and answers to each one of us who call on to His name. God is SPIRIT, and His worshipers MUST worship in spirit and in truth.



Nice Christian Life Experiences
