Matthew 5:13<\/a>)<\/p>\nHow\u00a0is it\u00a0possible that Christians are tearing each other down?<\/p>\n
If you have been following me or my\u00a0blog for any length of time, you know what I’m about.<\/p>\n
I have never been the type to judge other people. I don’t care who they are or what they’ve done. I accept people for who they are. I respect the Word of God, and\u00a0as I age, I realize I’m no one to point my finger at anyone. I do not care who they are.<\/p>\n
The job of a true Christian is to love others.<\/p>\n
There was a time I didn’t get this. I didn’t get the importance of loving others. But God in His grandiose, gracious, merciful way, was patient enough with me to allow me to learn this vital lesson.<\/p>\n
The lesson happened this year, while I have been in the process of advocating for someone who was wrongfully convicted.<\/p>\n
I’ve learned that passing judgement is reserved for God alone. Jesus didn’t die for perfect people. He died for flawed and broken people.<\/p>\n
Christians are sinners saved by grace. How dare we think we are better than anyone else.<\/p>\n
How can we point our fingers at anyone?<\/p>\n
I don’t care if they are murderers, serial killers, rapists or pedophiles. The only way they are going to see Christ in us, is if we stop judging and start loving.<\/p>\n
I know this may sound clich\u00e9, but love is the force that changes the hardest heart… not judgement. Judging others doesn’t lead to any change.<\/p>\n
If you are a Christ follower, the only way to truly\u00a0reach others for Christ is by loving them.<\/p>\n
What do you think is stopping you from loving others?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I’ll be the first to admit, I am fed up with all the “holier than thou” Christians in this world, who point their fingers at everyone else around them. Do they know what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes? Wouldn’t it be\u00a0better to use their\u00a0energy and\u00a0focus on themselves?
