The Christian And Judgment Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Dec 2, 2019

We need to take a biblical approach to this difficult subject of judging. The world says, "Don't judge." What does God say? We need to be very careful.

The Christian and Judgment Matthew 7:1-6 This is perhaps one of the most important exhortations, found anywhere in the Bible, given to a Christian. This does not do away with judgment nor condemn it entirely. It merely says that if we judge honestly and according to God’s word, we are safe, but ...read more

On the journey the merchant became very ill, and at the point of death he made a will leaving all this ...read more

An old business man once spoke at his club and told of how he made an investment which brought him great dividends, but for which he did not have to pay a cent of taxes. One night as he closed his store he found a dirty boy of 12 crouched against the building trying to protect himself from the ...read more
