As you say, we cannot judge or presume to know what is in the heart of others, but we can show them the mirror of God's Word by speaking the truth in love, so that they can draw their own conclusions.<br />Thanks as always for your comment and God bless!<br />Laurie Laurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-45008212775561154572019-10-01T11:08:32.945-07:002019-10-01T11:08:32.945-07:00Great post, Laurie.

We are not equipped to judge, but we can definitely teach the scriptures in hopes that even some of those may realize what is missing.

May we know what we believe and be prepared to encourage and uplift others with God's Word.<br />Thanks as always for your comment and God bless you too!<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-89681020813915278102019-09-30T09:12:32.463-07:002019-09-30T09:12:32.463-07:00Hi Laurie,

However, we can encourage one another and overcome the enemy within the church by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.<br />God bless.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-76318319457736322342019-09-29T11:05:28.698-07:002019-09-29T11:05:28.698-07:00Dear Frank,

We are not to judge one another's hearts, but to use the spirit of discernment to distinguish right from wrong, and to speak the truth in love when needed. It is always easier to complain about the speck in our brother's eye rather than removing the log in our own eye.<br />Thanks as always for sharing your perspective and encouragement.

Although originally delivered to a Jewish audience, within many were involved in Old Testament rituals, even among us Gentiles, for 25% of the population to be truly saved would be considered "a fantastic revival" - especially here in the UK, where Darwinism had taken great strides to discredit the Gospel.<br />This does give a good opportunity for each one of us to examine his own heart, however, care should be taken whilst assembled in church, not to secretly judge another person nearby.<br />A thought-provoking blog.
