Yesterday we raised two examples: the Pharisee and the unrepentant person on the cross. Both of these people have a common point, that is they like to judge others. As Christians, we should be careful to not judge others. When we find that we’re not humble or are poor in spirit, we tend to put our focus on others and not on ourselves. Therefore we have this tendency to judge others.

We turn to Acts 22:6-10;

As we listen to the word of God and pray in the Spirit, the Spirit should be constantly renewing us. But if we really reflect on ourselves, have we allowed the word of God change us in our lives? To give us the correct perspective of the things happening around us? Or have we allowed these experiences we’ve had to take control of our lives? Those may very well be bad experiences; there may really have been bad people in our lives. Are we able to let go? Have we let go? Often times we say we forgive, but we don’t forget. You keep saying you forget, but have you really forgotten? The speaker has read this on Facebook and he happened to know the background behind it. It’s true that you’ve forgiven someone but you don’t forget; there’s a bitterness that continues in your heart. We turn to Romans 3:10-18;

What are the two questions in life we have to think deeper about?

Throughout the history of Israel, there are seen many failures. They had to be taught by God to learn how to obey His words. The whole of the ten tribes in the North were taken away and they never came back to reconstitute the nations. The two southern tribes didn’t learn their lessons and they were taken into captivity.
