The purpose of the scripture is saying is that when you judging others, that should make you stop and say: what is it in this person that I need to work on?
Judging others is easy, but what if the real challenge lies in looking inward? In this episode of 'That Christian in Recovery', Vernon Layne tackles the often-overlooked topic of judgement. He passionately argues that before we can help others, we need to get our own house in order. Vernon leans on scripture to remind us that we all have our flaws and shortcomings, and it's through acknowledging these that true growth happens.
He shares practical advice on how to let the Holy Spirit guide us towards maturity and humility. Vernon emphasizes the importance of confessing our sins and being open to advice from friends. This isn't just about spiritual growth; it's about building a supportive community where everyone is working towards their own recovery.
