Judge not or Discern not ?


I believe judging is often necessary, only if it is based on the Word of God. Usually when people judge, they based it on some standard, such as a morally good and wrong sense of standard, where they themselves fail to comply sometimes. However, judging shd be based on the Word of God, the Word of God provides the standard of which it is an Absolute Truth and Moral, you and I are not an exception to being weighed by it.

As in Corinthians, Apostle Paul judged and urged the church to ex-communicate the christian who sleeps with his father's wife! But there is always an element lacking in all our attempts to judge others, that's love. Rebuke in love, when judging, always remember, do it with Love, for if we have all gifts of prophecy, tongues, words of knowledge, wisdom but no love, we are nothing.

The above is taken from
Daniel's blog. Thought that this is what we all needed to hear. We mixed up discernment for judging and judging for discernment. Either ways I thought he was sharp on when he wrote this. He revealed the fine line.
