Slow Your “Judging” Role

LISTEN NOW!John, Steve, and Pat discuss the importance of slowing down and not being quick to rush to judgment. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 25:8 “What you have seen with your eyes do not bring hastily to court, for what you will do in the end if your neighbor puts you to shame?” In other words everybody sees something about everybody. There are always those people who think they actually saw something and feel like it is their job to point out what they see. This is so important because if you continue to judge you are likely to suffer the same fate if you hastily go around trying to bring people to some justice. We must remember that if God has allowed us to see something or hear something rest assured it is not so we can be critical or judgmental. God did not call us to judge but to love. Mother Theresa said “If we spend all of our time judging people we will not have any time to love them.”
