What This World Needs – Part 2 . . .

Ok. Here it is finally – the scriptural follow-up to the What This World Needs post. If you missed that post click the title in the sentence just before this one and it will take you to the post. Enough said – let’s jump right in!!

Matthew 7:1-3 - don’t judge because you will be judged in the same way. We don’t need to worry about another person’s problem until we have taken care of our own problems. I personally have enough problems in my own life to deal with that I don’t have time to deal with someone else’s – just being transparent.

John 7:24 - we never need to judge on someone’s appearance. If we are going to judge, we need to judge by the condition of the heart. That means that you have to get to know someone to get to know their heart. Some of the most sold-out Christians I have ever been around were some of the most different looking people that I have ever been around.

Romans 16:17-19 - watch out for people that cause divisions within the body of Christ and upset people’s faith by teachings contrary to the gospel. They are serving their own personal interests and agendas. They deceive innocent people by smooth talk and glowing words. They have no intention to live for the Master.

Philippians 3:18-20 - there are those whose conduct shows that they are really enemies of the cross. They brag about shameful things and they dwell on life here on earth.

Romans 12:9-21 - don’t pretend to love, really love one another. Hate what is wrong and hold tight to what is good. Love one another with genuine affection.

These are a good start. Let me encourage you to look these scriptures up in God’s word and study that scripture for yourselves. There are other scriptures that I have not had a chance to finish studying. I try to post about them later.

Until next time - keep your eyes on Jesus and spend time with God in His word.
