Comments on: Judge Rightly http://www.fireonyourhead.org/2006/09/13/judge-rightly/ Articles to provoke you towards personal and global revival Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:41:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: d http://www.fireonyourhead.org/2006/09/13/judge-rightly/comment-page-1/#comment-114 d Thu, 14 Sep 2006 00:38:00 +0000 http://www.fireonyourhead.org/archives/1101#comment-114 Yeah and then get into questioning people's worldiness in what other fellow Christians listen to or watch and you better be ready to get this "judge not" thrown back in your face. This, to me, is where the rubber meets the road--are we willing to have our own tastes lined up with, as the Word says, focusing on whatever is good, right, pure, noble, lovely, etc, and avoiding "even a hint" of worldliness/imoorality or do want to be completely free to enjoy whatever? I suspect it is more often the latter, especially in the modern charismatic and evangelical church where presonal choice rules supreme. Personally, I get tired of excuses not to live in holiness but instead puttin everything down to personal judgement. So what can one do but pray? Saying something rarely seems to have an effect as the other favourite verse is then quoted about doing what you are fully convinced on and not letting others judge you, etc, etc. Yeah and then get into questioning people’s worldiness in what other fellow Christians listen to or watch and you better be ready to get this “judge not” thrown back in your face.

We have been made to feel that we were narrow minded and unlike Christ when we judged someone, so these verses are very comforting. I'll be spending some time here I think.
