Judge not

It's easy to criticize or judge  others. But God says don't take his job that is not for us to worry about. Those who criticize others are proud. They assume they know
what is best, and that they are qualified to judge and even condemn others. They think they are better than those they criticize. Without God's grace and forgiveness, we would all be in
trouble!One of the devil's most successful strategies against the Church has been to get us to accuse one another. Instead of accusing our brothers and sisters in Christ, we
should be praying for them. After all, we are in the same Body! Revelation 12:10 tells us that the devil is called "the accuser of our brethren." Always be on your guard not to join forces
with the devil and help him do his work. We must make judgments about people in order to function in life. We can evaluate the fruit produced by others and
therefore make proper decisions (Matthew 7:16). But we do not have to criticize and condemn people. We can be quiet. What if a person's behavior is harming others? We have a
responsibility when we are in a position of authority to protect those we are responsible for. If you are in such a position you should report such a case to those in authority over you, in order to protect those you serve. Otherwise, your primary duty is to pray for those you think are not yet perfect.




For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again (Matthew 7:2).
