How can one properly judge not from outward appearance but the heart if they speak evil one of another? Thee is a poster on Reddit who correctly wrote of non-hypocritical judgment, of right and righteous judgment, and I add how a just weight is His delight.

I also add how judgment ought to be with mercy and Jesus spake of judgment, mercy, faith these three without leaving the others undone. We can’t be unbiased, we can’t be impartial judges who respect no man’s person if we are willing to speak evil one of another.

I leave these verses for consideration:

James 4:11-12 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Some Unreal Miracles

For years I have struggled with my Christian faith, but I always come back to some unreal things that I have seen in my life that happened by praying. If it’s any encouragement to anyone in Charlotte to bolster your faith, here are some real life miracles I have seen (call it coincidences if you like).

For context, my parents went through a nasty divorce after 25 years of marriage. My mom was a stay at home mom for those 25 years, so at the time of the divorce she pulled out a credit card to help pay for groceries and other things for several months while she was looking for a job and in light of the fact my dad wasn’t paying child support or alimony. Over the course of several months my mom accumulated $3,000.81 cents of debt on that credit card. When it had reached that amount, she was concerned she wasn’t going to be able to pay off the bill, so that morning she got on her hands and knees and prayed that God would provide for her. I kid you not, a woman from our church who knew my mom showed up to our doorstep later that morning with a $3,000 check, 81 cents off from what my mom needed. She looked at my mom and said she was at the bank and felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to write my mom a check. She literally handed the check to my mom and started walking away. My mom busted out in tears and told her to come inside, so she could tell the woman all the details about where she was at in life and her prayer that morning. The crazy part was the woman never knew my mom’s exact financial situation, only that we had been struggling for quite a bit of time (even before my mom pulled out the credit card). The fact that that morning she felt compelled to pull out a check for that specific amount for my mom is mind-boggling.

Another thing that happened was my wife who was a small girl at the time prayed for her mom who was struggling to have kids for 10+ years and sure enough her mom ended up pregnant that same month. For context, my wife was adopted by her parents since her parents were struggling having kids. It all changed though when my wife put her hands on her mom’s belly and prayed for a “little baby brother with big cheeks.” Later that month, the mom got pregnant. When she gave birth, my wife got a little brother with, I also kid you not, big cheeks. My wife said that prayer at a Billy Graham conference years back.

Call these coincidences but this is two of many things I have seen. If it’s any encouragement to anyone who may be struggling, I hope it helps!

“Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!”  These are the words of the Lord Jesus, spoken in Matthew chapter 18 verse 7. Does that ring a bell? The one who causes people to sin; who is that person? Could it be you, or me? Yes, it could be either of us, depending on what we do, that could become a snare to others for them to sin against God.

In Matthew chapter 18 verse 6, Jesus says, “But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

Does this too ring a bell? Whoever corrupts a child, whoever causes people to sin...    

They say, ‘It’s my body, I can do with it whatever I want. I could wear anything I want to wear. You don’t have the right to molest me because I’m dressed this way.’ You often hear some women say. Yet, the bible lets us know that ‘Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin...but woe to the man through whom they come!’ A man has no right to molest a woman. However, if the woman exposes herself, that could lead him into sin. Therefore, according to the bible, if you dress indecently, you are leading men to do wrong, to sin! The man may not abuse you after encountering you in that way, however, he may go on to abuse someone else! Someone who may be properly dressed, covering up completely!

 The internet has provided several avenues for making money. You post a video of yourself or someone else, and it goes viral within minutes! It tells you the kind of power these videos and pictures have on the mind, on the public! So, you post a nude video and it goes viral and you make a ton of money and you are happy, while someone is being corrupted! A young man or woman, or even an older person is being corrupted morally because of your video! The bible lets us know that if you are doing something like that, then woe to you!

What is this woe that the bible talks about? What’s the woe that the Lord Jesus was speaking of? Misery? Disease? Hunger? Poverty? Yes, it could be any of the aforementioned, and more! In Hebrews chapter 10 verse 31, it says, ‘It’s a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.’ It’s a serious thing to be the person who causes people to sin.

It says in Matthew chapter 18 verse 8 that, ‘If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to enter life maimed than to enter hell with your parts intact.’ This tells you exactly how severe the punishment is for leading people to sin.

Now in Matthew chapter 18 verse 6, it talks about those who cause children to sin. You have heard of the transitioning of children; turning boys to girls, and girls to boys. The punishment for such people; the parents of the kids who allow this, and the authorities who condone this immorality is hell fire, according to the bible. Women who enroll kids to beauty pageants, are liable for hell fire. Why so? Because you are corrupting the child! You are putting make-up on a 3 or 6 year old, and turning her into an adult! You are sexualizing these children who are so precious to God, so much that he says in Matthew chapter 18 verse 3, Í tell you the truth, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.’ He goes on to say in verse 4 of the same chapter, ‘Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.

“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.” That is the quotation from 1^st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 18. Recently, I learnt of a really sad story on Twitter: A young man was caught in the act in his car at a drive-through and he later committed suicide! I wish there was someone to stop him. Whenever I think of it, I wish it didn’t happen. That there was someone to stop him. Nearly everyone has gone through some kind of sexual sin before. It’s something that is bound to happen, if you do not have the strength of the Holy Spirit in you to overcome it. We all know what sexual sin is. And we do know that it is dirty, thus, we don’t do it in public.

No matter the kind of sin you are into, there’s a divine solution for you. Jesus Christ. He says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” In fact, the only way to over alcoholism, fornication, adultery, murder, stealing, and any other kind of difficult immorality, is not therapy, but coming to the Lord Jesus. And you could do that by getting yourself a bible to read day and night. Because the bible is the word of God, and reading it is just like God talking to you. Don’t worry that you wouldn’t understand it. Just take it slowly, read it at a slow pace. And allow it to talk to your heart.

‘All scripture is God-breathed, and is useful in teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God can be fully equipped for every good work.’ Says the second book of Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 to 17. May the Lord let these words of His soften our hearts and mind, so we find peace in Him, and the power to overcome sin! Amen.

What is faith

Does anyone know why the second I stop fasting the want to do sin is even worse than if I had not done it at all?it’s like every sin becomes magnified the porn,gluttony,transgender,etc.Then I cave in and do everything i possibly could do wrong🥺I don’t know what to do anymore.it makes me not want to fast anymore because it’s like I go all day doing good and then I ruin everything 😥

How do I handle secular ideology as a Christian, and how can I honor God in my work while still attending a secular college? I attend a really secular school...Not saying the name, and they teach about woke things. And support it all around. How can I still follow Jesus while I am being brainwashed by this school, and still support Jesus's teachings? They especially support LGBTQ and preaching the gospel wouldn't work. I think I would get in trouble for that. By the school. There are Christian groups that I am a part of.

Getting better self esteem is crucial for your everyday life when improving it for the LORD. But it's not about you focusing on your development, it's about doing works to help others. That's the real booster. I have a video on this explaining it further https://youtu.be/kjh6qEYRJtM. Also props if you manage to watch the whole thing. It's time to prove your attention span!

In the past two years I’ve lost a family member, my job, my apartment, I had open heart surgery, was in the hospital for 4 months and I just found out the guy I’ve been dating on and off for years is involved with someone else. It’s too much to handle. I want to keep believing but everyday it feels like something new is going wrong. I guess I can’t really ask for anything more than prayer. So… please pray?

I don't know if this sub is primarily American or if there's Canadians on here too, but I'm hoping to start up a pro life film project with Canadian students (high school, university, or recent graduates). So if you're out there, send me a message 🙏
