grace for your spirit June 17, 2013

Grace for your spirit
But you, why do you judge your brother?  Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt?  For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God   Romans 14:10

What are some of the signs we have contempt for our brother? There are words that show contempt.  There are expressions that show contempt, and even the tone of our voice can reflect contempt.  It is that feeling that others are somehow below us.  The distinct feeling that they are unworthy.  When we find ourselves giving the look, the word, and the tone of contempt, let's remember these three things.  One, we seldom know all the facts.  Two, God is the ultimate and final judge and three, our contempt will often drive them farther from God.  Let's be steppingstones instead of stumbling blocks for those on the road to God.
