JUDGING IS WORSHIP
Friday, February 15, 2019
Romans [NLT] 12:1-3 And so, dear
brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of
all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he
will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this
world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you
think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing
and perfect. Because of the privilege and
authority[c] God has given me, I give each of you this
warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your
evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
To Biblically judge self and others
constructively is our living and sacrificial “reasonable service” (KJV
Rom.12:1), truly worshipping Sovereign Jehovah God Almighty. Without the holy
exercise of evaluation according to God’s Will we emulate Adam; worshipping
self, Eve, and Satan.
To omit judging leaves religious practice of congregational
participation et al in the realm of worldly custom far from true all-embracing
worship of Him.
