Scripture 1 Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? <\/p>\n
Observation: It\u2019s easy to judge someone in private instead of face to face. Paul tells us not to judge the non-Christian but to hold our brother and sister accountable. When Paul tells us to judge those inside the church, I believe he is saying to confront them so if they are sinning, they might turn from their sin.<\/p>\n
Application: I have trouble judging everyone, but not confronting them. I make judgments mostly on appearance or their actions and speech. I speak to people that consider themselves Christians, but after a while I can see what they are saying is not biblical but I don\u2019t correct them. God has given me opportunities to help others stay on the path and others have helped me when I might be reading a scripture wrong and need my eyes open to the truth.<\/p>\n
Prayer Good Morning my Lord. You put me in the path of so many people whether Christian or not. Please give me the gift of discernment when I speak and open my heart to what You desire to say to them. Holy Spirit teach me each day so that I may draw closer to You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
