Judging Others

A couple weeks ago I had someone I know say they were going to go see the new Dr. Strange movie. (You can read my opinion on the new Dr. Strange movie in my previous blog What We Watch) Both myself and my oldest son told them why we think it’s not an appropriate movie to watch. They said they didn’t care and were still going to watch it. This person has also watched and supported several other anti God movies/shows/current issues. After I wasn’t in front of that person I told my wife how they are never going to change and they are just headed to hell. My wife told me to not judge and to remember the things I watched before I gave my life to Yah (God).

(A quick history about my past. I went to church pretty much every Sunday growing up but I was living my parents faith. With my friends I watched movies like Silence Of The Lambs, the Nightmare On Elm Street movie series, and Tim Currys version of It along with other movies like these. I also watched the show South Park and the movie they released. Once I had a true personal relationship with Yah I regretted watching those movies and shows and I have not watched any horror movies or many, if any, rated R movies since. I also feel very uncomfortable when lots of language is used in a film or show, especially if they are using Yah’s Name in vain.)

What my wife said to me helped me to be more aware of not judging others and to just pray for them instead. Here is what Yeshua (Jesus) says about judging others.

“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. For the way you judge others is how you will be judged — the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure to you."

-Matthew 7:1‭-‬2 CJB

How we judge others we ourselves will be likewise judged with that same measure. We have all sinned and therefore are no better then the next person. Instead of judging others we should humbly pray for them and ourselves that we may all live a life that exalts Yah, and we should also pray that we may partake in things that please Him. Today I pray that our neighbors, our country, our leaders, our world will turn from evil and darkness and instead glorify Yah.

Have a blessed day.

Acts 3:19

"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord," 

- Acts 3:19 NIV 

We all sin even though we know that we shouldn’t. I always tend to get upset over even the littlest things. I try to have patience and not let things bother me but sometimes my flesh ends up getting the better of me. Whatever you may struggle with pray for God to forgive you and give you strength to overcome this obstacles. Praying for forgiveness shows that we know we’ve done wrong and we want to be better. God will honor us if we are sincere and we become more and more like Him.

God Bless

Thought Of The Day: 11/13/20

As humans we all sin. I’m guilty of having a temper sometimes and also holding a grudge and not letting things from the past go. Election season is probably the worst season for these things to come out in me. As followers of Christ we need to look to Him and put our old ways in the past.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
‭‭
- 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Does this mean that we won’t sin? Absolutely not! We are human so we will make mistakes. Being a new creation in Christ will help us to become a better person. I pray that we can all become new creations in Christ and become a better people.

God Bless
