Hey Lovelies!
Been feeling a little dry with the reading. I think my mind's not in the right place.
But! Do not fret! hee hee
I took a look at Doug J's website and read his insight on Matthew 7.
Woah!! CHEEMALOGY!! (singapore slang for really difficult to understand)
But after reading through again and again and also reading verse references he gave, I got a better idea of what he was saying. =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In verses 1 & 2 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
A lot of times I tend to see it has judging a person. Do not judge people or I will be judged by them. I never really took deep consideration of the overall meaning of judgement.
Judgement of the Scriptures
I find myself picking and choosing what I feel is right for me. And those scriptures that aren't right, I never consider them to be right for me in another situation.
Question posted by DJ for us to think about:
Does the fact that some sections of the Bible are especially "important" make me less motivated to study the sections I perceive to be less valuable? Or do I truly believe that all scripture is "inspired... and useful" (2 Timothy 3:16)?
Do I make judgement on what is valuable or not?
"All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that all God's people may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

2 Timothy 3:16-17
This really applies to me because, not only do I make judgement, I don't make use of the opportunity to be humble an read the bible when it is right there infront of me. =)

Hope this has inspired you as much as it has for me.
Let's take reading the New Testament together seriously.
Love you all dearly =)
