The question is, are we to judge people or the things they do?

We hear all the time, we should not judge, this is true to a point.

 We are not to be fault finding, being critical, looking for wrong doing. 
If we see wrongdoing, remember from where we came from, before Jesus saved us and after salvation when we were just babes in the Lord.

 Matthew 7: 1
"Judge not, that you be not judged.  For what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

 In other words you are setting yourself up for the very trial that you are judging, with a critical spirit or attitude.

 We can judge a situation, without being critical and prideful, thinking that we have it all together, because none of us do, and we won't until we see Jesus face to face.

 1 Corinthians 2:14-16
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him;  nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.  

 For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?"
But we have the mind of Christ.

 Beloved, if we have the Holy Spirit operating in our life, we will have the mind of Christ, when we are filled with the Holy Spirit and full of God's word, to evaluate, and discern, and yes, judge matters, and situations, as it says, "all things" but, God will judge the people.

 We can judge what is right or wrong, that is necessary.

How else would we know how to pray and for what we should pray for?

 Never rush into a situation until you have prayed to get the mind of Christ first. 
Remember, Satan pushes the Holy Spirit gently leads.

 I hear people share things that need prayer, and they immediately say, "now I am not judging." 

 They have to be told, that there are places in the word of God that tells us we can judge, discern, and evaluate certain things. 

 We should always examine ourselves, to make certain we are in the faith. 

 1 Corinthians 11:31
For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

 1 John 2:1
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin.  And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

 Beloved, Jesus is our lawyer, He stands up for us, so be kind, compassionate and understanding with others, do not be critical or mean spirited, do not be judgmental.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
