James 4:11-12

In the book of Judges we see two women: Deborah and Jael. With the story of Deborah and Jael comes a lesson of judging based on appearence and unfair expectations.

This lesson looks at more teachings from Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus taught about how to judge others, how to ask God for things, how to treat others, which gate to enter in, and what those who hear and do what Jesus says are like.

In what is known as the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus teaches His disciples how to live life with a mercy that multiplies. God's mercy instructs the way we judge, lead, correct, and inspect others as we keep the mercy we've received at the fore of all we do towards others.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged.” (Matthew 7:1) Is ALL judgment forbidden? Do we never judge others when they do wrong? It is foolish; even dangerous to build a doctrine on one verse without considering the whole of scripture. Having considered other scriptures, we find, as with all else: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) There is a time to judge.

It is fun to watch children as they freely imitate those whom they admire. Watch a young boy or girl on the athletic field and you may seem them mimicking the batting stance or free throw regiment of their favorite hero. Watch a young boy as he imitates a soldier or a young girl as they dress to look…

LIVING GRACEFULLY (5): JUDGE NOT (Luke 6:37-38) Intro – Someone has said, “The only thing good about being imperfect is the joy it brings others.” I suppose that’s one way to look at it.

By Pastor Glenn Pease A deaf but pious English lady visiting a country town in Scotland went to church with an ear trumpet.

By Pastor Glenn Pease A crystal gazer collected 25 dollars for a reading and told the visitor, "This entitles you to ask me two questions. Isn't that a lot of money for only two questions?"
