Do not Judge

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
                                                                                                  Matthew 7:1,2
It is easy to slip into judgement. All it takes is for someone to do something we find wrong and we heap the judgement out.
Jesus realized that Christians would be in a world surrounded by things that they were morally opposed to. That’s why he said not to judge.
Judgement can lead to anger and other things. It definitely turns people away from the one who is judging and away from God.
If we judge others they most definitely will judge us. And we will not win souls that way.
I see Christians in the media slamming people who do not agree with us.
The big one when it come to Christians judging people at this writing, seems to be to judge the homosexual community.
How sad.
The Bible clearly tell us
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
                                                                                          Matthew 7:1,2.
I could care less as to whether homosexuality is a sin or not.
In the same way I could care less as to whether the person next to me in church is a sinner. Sin is between the individual and God.
I remember some years ago a pastor putting a sign in front of his church saying “this church for sinners only. All welcome.” How appropriate.
I can, I think, without fear of being wrong say that everyone who attends church has sinned at least once during the week.
We therefore being sinners have no right to judge another person.
It is God who convicts men of sin. It is not our job.
Christians have but one job in this world Jesus put it this way,
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  
    Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 
                                                                             Matthew 28: 18-20
You cannot win souls to Christ by judging them.
We must approach all people be it inside church or outside the church walls with the same love and understanding and let God do any judging that needs to be done.
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:17
Think about it.
