Today's scriptures: Galatians 6:1
We Christians tend to be judgmental. Sorry to be so blunt, but it’s true.
We love to point out that speck in someone else’s eye, and we feel somehow
superior when someone is “caught in any trespass.”
That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. We should grieve when a brother or
sister sins, and we should seek their restoration.
Rather than point fingers or—even worse—gossip about someone’s failings, we
should quietly and gently walk alongside her to bring her back to a right
relationship with the Lord. And as we do, we need to be extra alert so we
aren’t tempted to fall into the same sin.
Righteousness, not sinfulness.
Gentleness, not ridicule.
Restoration, not condemnation.
