I was just ...amy, <BR/><BR/>wow - what a great post of truth. I was just talking to a friend tonight who once heard a sermon about Judgement. The preacher was saying that we are to judge each other, as Christians (hold them accountable). Those who we aren't in any position to "judge" is non believers.Football and Fried Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199596489592299649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838465.post-86602690789538492592008-07-13T10:48:00.000-07:002008-07-13T10:48:00.000-07:00This is a serious thought that all true Christians...This is a serious thought that all true Christians ask at some point or another. For myself, I've found the answer to be an individual one. I can make a difference, but I have to do it openly, and that can be hard sometimes. But the more individuals that openly set good examples of Christ-like love, the more others will follow suit. Most people are just waiting for someone else to set the precedent.Ice Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720267761985766740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838465.post-20265491957375392982008-07-11T00:55:00.000-07:002008-07-11T00:55:00.000-07:00I am not into labels, either, but I am into specia...I am not into labels, either, but I am into special needs kids from China.

I think us as humand don't even scratch the surface when it comes to being good and kind to one another. But again that was God's design for us. I've been labeled in so many different ways that I lost count. I can't help that and I don't mind. But the day I label myself, I'll be doomed. I hope you find the anwers you seek.Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057386419079395375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838465.post-30422076280872301392008-07-08T15:47:00.000-07:002008-07-08T15:47:00.000-07:00I love how God changes peoples names throughout Hi...I love how God changes peoples names throughout His word.

I find that I judge myself based on some of the years that I've been indoctrinated in church...i.e.,having a drink. It was preached as so evil from pulpits that I sat under that I shunned it. I think I've become more balanced as I've aged. It doesn't, however, mean that I don't find myself falling back into those habits of judging, however. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear the next part of your adoption journey. I know God has wonderful things planned for you, dear God-follower!<BR/><BR/>:-) SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734191407051735127noreply@blogger.com
