A Pointing Finger

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.    Romans 2:1  NIV

        Jesus never calls us to be a judge of other people.  That is a God sized job.  Jesus wants us to accept God's mercy and he wants us to let others know that God is merciful.  Pointing out the faults and sins of others is an activity that Satan loves.  The Bible refers to him as "The Adversary."  So the question is, are you a support for others or an adversary?  We can be the greatest help to others in their Christian growth by walking beside them down the path and helping them up when they stumble.  A benefit is that they will be there for us when we fall flat on our own faces.
