"Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God." (I Cor. 4:5)
Read that one more time and tell me that isn't confusing. The Lord is going to expose the motives of men's hearts....and then each will receive praise from God. On second thought, one who has a clear conscience is able to speak this.
Hey Jim... thanks for inviting me to follow. In our church, we constantly have a challenge discerning between "judging" and basic accountability. It is easy for the one being held accountable to say "Don't judge me!" Some Christians also feel that it is their responsibility to bring everyone to justice. I praise God that it is He that is judge over all.
