A few ponderings

Romans 14: 9 - 13 (NIV)

For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgement seat. It is written

"'As surely as I live', says the Lord,
'every knee will bow before me;
every tounge will confess to God.'"

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgement on one another. Instead make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.



So, were all sinners, none of us are perfect. Why is it then were so quick to point out non-christians "evil ways". How come people are so quick to criticise people for drinking, having premarital sex, homosexuality. Yet so often gossip, backstabbing, lies and slander goes unnoticed.

In our modern day church, how easy is it for someone to say to his friend, ooops, i probably should have been nicer to so and so, i probably shouldnt have said that about so and so. Yet how hard is it for someone to say to his friend, ooops i drunk too much again, ooops i slipped up and watched some dodgy movie again.

Why do we as christians, me as a christian, find it easier to accept each others lies then others homosexuality, then others drinking, then others morals. Then others life situations.

I pray and hope that as i know i am guilty of these things, that every day i can accept more and judge less.

I wonder how much the church could give this world if it merely loved and accepted more then it condemned.





Life is good :) hope your all well!
