Pridefully Judging Sinners

He seems to have two categories in this story: perfect and not perfect. So what Jesus really suggests is, if you are in the latter category, what in the world do you think you’re doing judging other people who are also imperfect just like you?

Are we quick to judge others in their sin or do we bow at Jesus’ feet recognizing our own sin in our lives? We are no different than a murderer or prostitute. There is no such thing as a “level” or “severity” to sin. All sin is an abomination in God’s sight.

The World’s Redefinition of Love

Most of the talk about love these days ignores this principle. “Love” has been redefined as a broad tolerance that overlooks sin and embraces good and evil alike. That’s not love; it’s apathy.

It is funny how different love is defined in the world versus how the bible defines it. We should tread very carefully in encouraging what the world considers love. Let us live love according to how Jesus taught it: sacrificial, self-giving, merciful, compassionate, sympathetic, kind, generous, and patient.
