Medaling in the Judgement Olympics.

 If you haven't started reading Stuff Christians Like, stop reading my blog and toddle on over to www.stuffchristianslike.net.

If you have started reading it then you've probably already read today's post on the judgment Olympics. I love the insight Jon Acuff offers on Judgment and Discernment, while still keeping things amusing and tongue in cheek.

And I'm not going to lie, if the judgement olympics were actually handing out medals, I'd be able to retire and live off of the supply of precious metals. It's not the way I want to be, but I'm slowly working on it.

Especially the gold metal of "I used to."

If you ever catch me doing that, you have my permission to smack me upside the head.

ugh.

Thanks for linking to that post.  It's one of the many things I've been thinking about recently...how we run around shooting our Christian brothers and sisters with our words and stopping just short of outright physical murder.  Right now though, I'm trying to figure out what "discernment" truly is.  You know, the kind that the Bible tells us to have.  Because it's not the same as criticism and judgement.

Last night I listened to a pastor talking about this, although the particular case has to do with Todd Bentley and what's going on in Lakeland, Florida.  Basically he was saying that we need to be willing to take a bullet for our fellow Christians.  Christ died for people who rejected Him.  Why do we throw to the dogs those Christians who disagree with us?

And as a last comment, I have really been struggling with this lately...the more it has been brought to my attention.  Particularly "I used to".  And judging the people who judge me.
