    Do Not Judge By Appearance

    Contributed by James Dina on May 29, 2021
     | 4,167 views

    Learn to judge men, by the things that are not seen in their nature but seen in their fruits (Matthew 7:20), and also by their graces and spiritual glory. Judge them by their patience, meekness, holiness and uprightness.

(John 7:24) A change in our outward condition causes many people to change their opinions concerning us. While Job did swim in the full streams of riches and honor, many respected him; but ...read more

    We put a lot of priority into the way we look, but God sees on the inside. God values character over appearance, and can rightly help us do the same as we trust him.

    1 Samuel 16:6-13 Judging Character In our western society, we truly value outward appearances. People in America spend thousands and thousands of dollars on face lifts, behind lifts, and everything in between. Don Knotts, the actor who played Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show, once said, “What ...read more

    How do we react to others - are we quick to judge on appearance, and can we learn to be hearers and doers of the word?

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, the congregation had just settled into their service and had begun to sing the first hymn, when their attention was disturbed by a young man who was aimlessly wandering down the aisle.

    Trying to secure our status in God's sight by checking off a list of church activities won't give us enough credit to get away with looking down on our neighbor.

    What's the difference between an appraisal and a judgment? If the devil can't destroy us by making us apathetic, he'll try to do it by making us judgmental.

    It’s hard to talk about judging others without sounding judgmental! “Judge not lest ye be judged” is one of the most quoted and misunderstood verses in the Bible. People who never open a Bible, people who are biblically illiterate, still know this statement, and readily use ...read more

    James 2:1-10, 14-17 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 The problem with human beings is that too often we judge things by how they appear and miss the bigger picture.
