Fearless Proclamation


People keep telling us we have no right to judge.  In the language of this world I have responded that we have the right to make assessments.  But the Apostle Paul went much farther than that.  Read this and understand.

14 “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 ‘For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2)

There is no truth to what they say, we are compelled to make judgments according to the rule of our Lord.  But even if we water it down to simple assessments, still they rage in our direction.   Do not let that stop you.  For unless they hear, they will surely die.

God has spoken his expectations.  If we perceive a man refusing to obey, we have an obligation to step forward and help him.  If he throws back in our face, “You have no right to judge me”, ponder in your heart; is it better for him to hear your words or the words of the living God on the final day of his life?

Who will rise to the things of God?  Who will willingly dawn the mantle of the Gospel and go with strength?  The only thing they throw at us are words, my brothers!  Why do we let them make us afraid?!

Judging Others


“Do you know?”

“Yes.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I’ve seen it before and the outcome is always the same.”

“Where have you seen it before?”

“It happens a lot of times in a lot of people.?”

“Does it happen in you?”

“I guess it does sometimes.   Yes.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know exactly.”

“Do you think he does that all the time?”

“Probably not.  It would likely kill him.”

“So you only caught him in one of your own moments?”

“That’s probably the case.   Yes.”

“So then why did you judge him so harshly?”

“I’m not sure.”
