Romans 1:28-2:11

When you read the list of behaviors and traits at the beginning of the passage, try to think about how many of them could possibly apply to you at one point or another in your life. Now think about how many of those apply to people you may know.

Now STOP!!! It's important to remember that it's not at all position to judge others or their actions. We are to leave that to God, the only one who is perfect and blameless. If we're going to essentially "play God" and judge others, then we must also take on His other traits and be filled with grace, mercy, love, and forgiveness for everyone. Do you believe that you can do that? Do you believe that you can accurately judge others, and at the same time have grace, mercy, love and forgiveness for them as well? I know that I can't, and therefore I will leave the judging to God. ?
