Is it about life or death?

So be it

So be it.

If it is about losing, and not winning or victory,
So be it

Is it about famine or eating?
If it is about famine, and not food in excess or eating,
So be it

Is it about commending or condemning?

If it is about condemning, and not commending or extolling,
So be it

Is it about slavery or liberty?

Premium Member Matthew: Why, Then, Do You Look

Human imperfection is our heritance from Adam and Eve.
If any of us think we're guiltless, it's ourselves we deceive.
Human weakness is the stained affliction of all mankind.
If we think we are better than most, then truly we are blind.

Don't be so quick to judge the transgressions of others.
God intended for us to be equal, treating all as brothers.
Before pointing an accusing finger in the wrong direction,
First examine ourselves to discover our own imperfection.

Pray to God so that He may give us the faith to be strong.
Commending is always right; disapproving is always wrong.
We should always put forth the effort to be mild and meek,
and when we do, we will find rich blessings that we seek.

Pointing out the faults of men is taking negative action,
and in God's view of us, He will take no satisfaction.
Hypocrite would be the name some would call us by,
and on the Judgement Day, we will be the one to cry.

Refrain from using the harsh words meant to criticize.
Keep rein on our tongues; see others with loving eyes.
God will hold us accountable for the hurts we may cause.
Before condemning someone, be mindful of our own flaws.
   ~          ~          ~          ~          ~          ~          ~          

      
Inspired by the Bible Verse found at Matthew 7:3
"Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye 
but do not notice the rafter in your own eye?"

Premium Member Christ-Centered Character

Compassionate with confident charity’s call
Concerned for clear Christian conversion cause
Committed to Christ’s cross, cleaving to His covenant 
Cooperative along congregation’s counseling clamor
Circumspect to correct compromises’ conveniences
Courageous, contending against carnality-challenge
Cheering the cross-carriers, crowned cavaliers of the Creator
Comforting, caring for the chastised, crying for clemency chances
Creating conformity changes from corruption-cursed condemnation
Christ-centered character commending CHRIST!*


*1Corinthians 1:24 …Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
