So I am a little behind but this blog has really been helpful. I am actually taking the time to sit down, read, and even think a little. I know....such a stretch for me. The judgement issue is a really big deal for me because of issues at a small church back home. They have such harsh views and sometimes hard to understand.
That is their problem, not yours. There are many that judge incorrectly and many that will not change. Just know that they will be judged by those same standards. I wouldn't want to be in their position. Jesus knew it all, he could have lorded that over everyone he spoke too but how many would follow him then? Not many. The only time Jesus lorded his understanding over others & ridiculed their "judgemental" ways was with the Pharisees. Jesus attacked them so since they thought of themselves as "so on the ball". Well, they were "so on the ball" that a great majority of them were to "upright & just" to believe in the words of the Savior. I want to talk about other groups that are judging too. It makes great heated debate but we must know that we ourselves must be different. And once we take that stance, we must try our best to get just one more person with us, and so on and so on. They answer for themselves, you answer for yourself. Tough indeed.

Yes it has helped. I've been out of touch with technology but plan on getting some blogging done this weekend.
