You might be cold on the inside. And cold on the inside just isn't worth serving to your Lord. That's not what He wants. What He cares about is the warmth inside in your heart. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-audit-of-a-lifetime-6378 2011-06-22T12:19:04-05:00 The Auditor's told us how to take the dread out of the audit. It says, "If we judge ourselves, we would not come under judgment" (1 Corinthians 11:31). Face it now so you don't have to face it then. It's no wonder He's so deeply interested in how we live our life. He's pretty heavily invested with His blood. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/no-such-thing-as-a-secret-6125 2010-07-03T04:11:13-05:00 The Bible makes it clear that there is no religion or human goodness that can erase our sins. Amazingly, it was the very God we have rebelled against who reached out to give us a way to belong to Him. A way that cost Him the most precious thing He had - His one and only Son. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%206:3-4&version=NIV 2009-09-30T18:03:52-05:00 Paul tells us that all who count themselves believers will one day judge the earth. They will also one day be in charge of judging angels. Yet, despite this lofty position we've been given, we flock to nonbelievers to have them cast judgment on us. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%207:1-5&version=NIV 2009-09-25T10:36:18-05:00 It's a natural human impulse to judge and criticize others, to note how they don't measure up to our standards in one way or another. But the Bible is clear about the role of judgment in our lives: we should focus on our judging eyes on ourselves and our own ample faults, rather than obsessing on the flaws of other people. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:1-11&version=NIV 2009-09-25T10:26:44-05:00 "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone." With this simple phrase, Jesus silenced an angry crowd ready to execute a women caught in adultery. His words challenged them to judge themselves before judging others. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%207:1-3&version=NIV 2009-07-24T13:03:49-05:00 Jesus' famous reprimand for those who spend lots of time judging others, while ignoring their own faults. We certainly wouldn't want to be judged in the same way we judge others--so leave the judging to God, and focus on correcting your own weaknesses instead. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/russian/Jesus%20the%20Great%20Teacher%20Russian.pdf 2009-03-03T16:04:48-05:00 Russian: Jesus says God's people are lights.
