Contributed by John Ong on Sep 22, 2017

For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be ...read more

I touch my stomach and it hurts. I touch my chest and it hurts. You have to help me, Doc, ...read more

JUDGE NOT. Matthew 7:1-12. When Jesus says, “Judge not” (Matthew 7:1), He is not bidding us suspend our faculty of discernment.
