We have heard all our lives that, "we should not judge lest we be judged."  I have tried my best to dig into this, because how am I supposed to know where and if I should allow my children to do certain things, or be certain places, or hang out with certain people if I am not supposed to judge?  I really believe the interpretation of the said verse if we read on, is that we need to judge but be careful how we judge because with what judgment we use will be used on us also, and for the simple fact that we need to take what is in our lives away before we can judge what is in yours!!  Basically saying we don't have the time to judge others because ours lives are filled with things that none of us are proud of!!  That is what makes Christianity so special.  Doesn't make us better than anyone else, put us on higher pedestals, or make us perfect, but what it does make us is "FORGIVEN!"  New creatures in Christ Jesus, Old things passed away and all things new!  Which brings me to another point, Correction.  We as Christians like to think we have all the answers and have the Christian life figured out in such a way that we can lead everyone else out of their trouble and into the light!!  We want to correct all people the way we correct our children, ground, spank!!  Paul tells us to Go to such a one in the spirit of MEEKNESS considering yourself!!  A great ministry is dwelling up inside of me and I sure would like for it to birth in all the hearts of all the people I know, that we need to put our arms around our brother, cut the gossip, putting down, judgments and whatever else our high minded selves can think of and help dust our brother and sister off set them back on the road of life again, carry them if you need to!!  Do whatever we can to reach the lost and strengthen the ones who remain among us!!   What a great GOD we serve!!!   Thank you and GOD BLESS!!
