    To Judge Or Not To Judge - That Is The Question

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 23, 2016
     | 6,080 views

    One of the most popular verse fragments recited by unbelievers or folks who claim to be believers but who are living in sin is, "Judge not, lest you be judged." Holy proof-texting! What does this teaching really mean to those who are called to be holy?

Proper judgment is an integral part of Christ's love. What is love? (show video ...read more

    Jesus had personally demonstrated His authority previously in Matthew. He now delegates that same authority to His apostles so that they may carry out His ministry to the world.

    In spiritual warfare there are no rules, no rounds, no countouts, no one to stop the fight. Whoever fights the hardest, the meanest, and lasts the longest will win. There is no draw. You either win the battle or lose the battle.

    This week I caught a glimpse of the MMA. Has anyone seen these matches? They are brutal. They take place in a cage where two opponents fight three to five rounds. Every round is 5 minutes in duration with one-minute rest period in-between rounds. Non-title matches must not exceed three rounds. ...read more

    Jesus specializes in turning a madman into a man who makes a difference.

    This is a profound, provocative passage of scripture – in the event of a maniac (madman) from Gadara. Look at this man – wiry, bristly, clumpy hair. A beard to his chest, ribboned with blood. Furtive eyes, darting in all directions, refusing to fix. Naked. No sandals to protect ...read more
