Seven Lame Excuses Christians Use When Confronted For Their Bad Behavior:

Image
“Who are you to judge me? Let God judge me.” This is generally taken from Matt. 7:1. But read the rest of the verse - Matt. 7:2-5. Also read 1 Cor. 5:12-13; James 2:12-13; John 7:24; Matt. 18:15-17; James 5:20; Gal. 6:1. Continually throughout the NT, God commands His people to correct, rebuke, exhort and encourage. Note as well that the one who claims that they are being judged is also judging the person doing the confronting. Kinda kills the whole argument. The judging Jesus hated was both hypocritical and based upon perceived character and intent rather than an action witnessed. Only God knows the intent and the character. We however are supposed to judge one another based upon the fruit and the action of the believer. Imagine a world where no one pointed out the wrongs of life. If we truly love someone then how can we not warn them? God uses others within the Body to warn us of His judgment. It is to be done in humility and out of love - for the person and for God's holiness...

Ray Rice and Domestic Violence

Image
You have most likely heard, and even seen, of the video with NFL star Ray Rice punching his fiancée, now wife, and knocking her unconscious. His actions have prompted a major yellow flag - both the loss of his NFL contract and an indefinite suspension from the league. The reaction from the public has been just as harsh and has turned into a social media gang-tackle. It is mind-blowing that in just just one second of rage a whole career, worth tens of millions of dollars was fumbled and lost. This horrendous event was caught on a security camera and now broadcast to all of America. Ray Rice has gone from football hero to number one public enemy in a matter of hours. This now public account of a private incident stands as a stark reminder to all of us that domestic abuse is a significant problem in our society.   The Frightening Numbers: 24 – the number of people per minute who experience intimate partner violence in the U.S. 1 in 4 - women in the U.S. report intimate partn...

GOD THE JUDGE

Image
" And no creature is hidden from God, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must render an account." Hebrews 4:13 What is it that makes a good judge? A good Judge must have a thorough knowledge of the law. They must possess fairness, have integrity and keen discernment. But no matter how good the judge is, they must have the authority and power to execute their judgment.  The Lord is a fulfillment of all that is required for a good judge. He has a thorough knowledge of the law because He wrote the law. He is the standard. He is fair, as He is not dissuaded by reputation. He has integrity because He is faithful unto all that He is and says.  No one can slip one by Him or deceive Him, for He is all knowing - knowing not only all our actions, all the surrounding events but also all the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. He is the key witness and the expert witness. As the God of truth, He knows all truth. No one will find looph...
