God's Not Going To Judge Me
Contributed by Johnny A. Palmer Jr. on Dec 9, 2011 (message contributor)
"GOD'S NOT GOING TO JUDGE ME"
Life magazine once interviewed dozens of people. One person they talked to was a prostitute, age 24, in White Pine County, Nevada. She said, "I don't think about my feelings a lot, instead I lie in my bed and think onto Him. I meditate because sometimes my words don't come out right. But He can find me. He can find what's inside of me just by listening to my thoughts. I ask Him to help me and keep me going.
"A lot of people think working girls don't have any morals, any religion. But I do. I don't steal. I don't lie. The way I look at it, I'm not sinning. He's not going to judge me. I don't think God judges anybody."
The people of Noah's day did not really think God was going to Judge them - but He did! American, like that prostitute, have the same attitude - but they are wrong!
