WE ARE NOT TO DO THESE THINGS ALSO: Judging, Criticizing, Condemning Others- Self-righteousness is one of the hardest sins to avoid because it is so much easier to see other peoples faults than to see our own faults. But, judgment of a persons character must be left to God See, Romans 2:1-4, & James 4:11-12. LISTEN: Rather than look for faults in others, we should look for the good in others and try to correct the faults within ourselves. Rather than criticizing other people, we should concentrate on living holy lives, ourselves. Jesus comical parable of a person with a log in his eye trying to see to remove a speck from anothers eye reminds us that we probably have bigger faults within ourselves (including self-righteousness) than the faults we like to criticize in others: Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbors eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, Let me take the speck out of your eye, while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbors eye...Matthew 7:1-5 Lord God, Forgive us/me for criticizing others, as we sometimes do and out of stupidity, who are we to judge or condemn for You Lord have forgiven our/my sins and past, so should we others, in Jesus Name, Amen and All agree says Amen.
