DO NOT CRITICIZE
James 4:11-12
Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
Personal challenge
It is so hard to live in this Jerry Seinfeld world where it is expected to be putting everyone down and try to live a Christian life of love. What comes out of our mouth, whether encouraging or demeaning, has an impact on those whom we speak to. We are told here by James that we should not judge or criticize others because it is only God's job to do that. There is a fine line between correcting someone who is in error and being judgmental. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
