NAME______________________________________________ PHONE NUMBER _____________________________________ February 24th, 2019 JMJ Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Our secular society is decaying around us. America is changing. Many things that are considered normal and acceptable in today’s world were considered sinful and disgraceful not so long ago. Men do not want to hear the truth. A Christian can hardly make a comment on the immorality openly displayed all around us without someone (sometimes in one’s own family) screaming, “Jesus said Don’t judge me!” They have learned to spew this phrase to excuse the exact type of behavior that needs to be judged! And the sad thing is that it works! Good Christians will cower and give up ground because they do not want to do or say anything to appear to be intolerant or labeled as one of the “phobics.” Perhaps, we really do not understand what Jesus meant by this Bible verse they are hurling at us. If you read further in these passages in the Bible, Jesus is not saying you cannot judge a behavior, Jesus says you should not be a hypocrite. You are to take the log from your eye and you must adhere to the same standard by which you are making a judgment of behavior. There is absolute truth, holiness, and righteousness in God’s laws. The world says “Don’t judge me, but Our Lord commands us to judge….BUT 1. We must judge with humility and mercy. We must realize our own sinfulness and not be self-righteous. 2. We must judge to build up and not tear down. We must not be hypocrites like the Pharisees. 3. We must judge to protect our church and our family. Parents DO have the responsibility to judge, correct, and guide the actions of their children and they also have the obligation to live a moral example before them. 4. We must judge rightly and realize that God will judge us in the same manner as we judge others. Judgement is not the same as condemnation, it is love. Love requires judgment. And judgment and love sometimes require telling someone that their behavior or choice is not good one. Bad behavior requires judgment. Telling someone their behavior is unacceptable requires love. It is not wrong or judgmental to point to the dangers of choices being made. It can be similar to warning someone to get out of a burning building, or urging someone headed towards a cliff to turn around. What the world needs today is God-fearing Christians who will rightly judge, confront evil, and stand for the truth without compromise.
