Not that I was expecting judgment, but rather, that I was afraid nobody would say anything. First of all, Candace made me laugh, but at the same time, nefarious is a "katdish" word for some reason. It just fits her. . .and I realize that the topic is so overdone, but honestly, try to imagine a day (really, not hypothetically and ideally) where we won't encounter sin! it's not gonna happen until we see Jesus again, so this is a topic worth killing. Thanks guys for your awesome comments!!! <br /><br />By the way, Kathy totally picked nasty "senior pic" off facebook. Although, it's actually one of the youthstaff photos from my church . . . it still smacks of senior pic...."try to look natural. . .ok don't. That was just awkward. We'll pretend that didn't happen!"JMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153935146315343348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-48250882684723784512009-05-27T22:41:23.820-05:002009-05-27T22:41:23.820-05:00Jennifer -

Am I feeling convicted, or just incredulous that katdish used the word "nefarious" in a sentence? <br /><br />Either way, I'm glad to say I have some pretty seedy Christian and non-Christian friends and that I can still see Jesus' image in all of them in different ways.

Sin is sin. And while the crack whore or adulterer, or whatever happens to offend you the most may be looked upon from the world's perspective as being unlovable, we are called to love as He loves. When we allow God to soften our hearts and see people the way Jesus sees them, that is the beginning of understanding grace, for them and for me.<br /><br />Thanks again, Jake.

Sadly, there's a lot of truth to that statement. I work in full time ministry and so on a day-to-day basis, I'm generally surrounded by saved folks. But when I go home to see my extended family, I'm pretty much in the mission field.<br /><br />I could choose to stand back at family gatherings, cross my arms, purse my lips, look down my nose and judge my family members. But how is that showing them the love of Christ? Instead I love them, hug them, listen to them, pray for them, and generally let my little light shine without being self-righteous about it.Sarah Salterhttp://www.sarahsalter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-47590447495197769562009-05-27T13:10:29.311-05:002009-05-27T13:10:29.311-05:00Don't judge 'em 'til Jesus comes back ...Don't judge 'em 'til Jesus comes back is what 1 Cor. 4:5 says.

They say they're Christians, and I believe them.<br /><br />In the end, it's just as you said. We're all on our own walk with our own struggles, and making our own choices.

Sometimes when I get on an unecessarily high and judgmental horse I have to remind myself that there's probably a sin in my life that my friends can see and are forgiving and gracious enough to love me anyway. You know, specks and planks and all. My time is much better spent building my relationship with God rather than picking others' relationships apart. Then like Peter P said, we'll be better at following the Holy Spirit on these kind of issues.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573016840618175525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-36013127604223612962009-05-27T00:50:06.706-05:002009-05-27T00:50:06.706-05:00Hate the sin, love the sinner.
It's not our place...Hate the sin, love the sinner.<br /><br />It's not our place to be judgmental but it is our place to judge for ourselves what is right.<br /><br />If someone is doing something which is sinful but are loving and listening to the Lord, he will correct them in his good time.<br /><br />Maybe he'll correct them through you, but probably not. The Holy Spirit is pretty good at doing that kind of stuff.<br /><br />I figure we should just be an example of what we find acceptable, without being condescending or judgmental and let God deal with the rest - but always be ready with a loving an answer if someone asks!<br /><br />Great post Jake.

We were discussing how to balance loving people with "tolerance". We don't want to appear to "tolerate" sin, yet Jesus calls us to love ALL of our neighbors. That includes the sinners.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070555200892952455noreply@blogger.com
