To Judge or Not to Judge?

"We are judged by the face that looks back at us from the bathroom mirror. We are judged by the faces of the people we love and by the faces and lives of our children and by our dreams. Each day finds us at the junction of many roads, and we are judged as much by the roads we have not taken as by the roads we have"

~ Fredrick Buechner (1973)

This is true but sad. We as Christians should not fit into this statistic but sadly many do.

I was listening to a sermon by Dwayne Sherrif the other day and he was talking about how we are made in the image and likeness of God, our creator. And since we are made in his image and God judges so we judge BUT Pastor Dwayne went on to say that when it comes to judging we are not to judge others in any way shape or form but we are to judge what we watch on TV or movies or what we listen to. And if you are parents to judge what your children watch and listen to. We have to realize that we are different than the world. We do not have to be like the world because we are not of the world. Take a stand, make a change. Realize that what you put into your mind is what is going to come out. Stop judging others by what they wear or how they style their hair but start judging what you put into your life.
