so how do we break the judging habit?...

so now we have dealt with the fact that we judge more than is acceptable by GOD so how do we break the habit of judging others?

well first of all i need to remember that i’ll be judged by the same standards that i use to judge other people.

if you want something to help you be a little more considerate, look at matthew 7.1-2 (niv), do not judge others, so that GOD will not judge you, for GOD will judge you in the same way you judge others, and HE will apply to you the same rules you apply to others.

we are in trouble!  the way we judge others – the same measure we mete out is the same measure we get back.  if you want something to help you break the habit of talking critically about other people, remember that.  what you dish out will be dished out to you.

also remember that each of us is accountable to GOD.

romans 14.12-13 (niv), everyone of us, then, will have to give an account to GOD.  so then, let us stop judging one another.

you’re not accountable to me in the ultimate sense of every area of your life.  you don’t have to report to me but one day we’re all going to stand before GOD and then GOD is going to know our motives. 

how’s GOD going to judge?  HE’s going to judge, honestly, fairly, truthfully.  it won’t be based on hearsay, rumors, third hand passed down stuff but based on the facts.  HE will judge impartially. 

in the court system it seems some people get off lighter than others. sometimes it doesn’t seem fair.  that’s true.  the bible never said that the world would be fair.  but one day GOD is going to settle the score.

why is it that people who do all kinds of evil things get away with it all of the time?  why is that?  is it fair that hitler could ruin so many lies and then just take his own life?  the bible says that on the other side, GOD settles the score.  one day we’ll all be judged by the LORD and we’ll give an account to HIM.

just a thought from the front porch…
