Judge Yourself?

"judging...or judgemental?" Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." This is a popular Bible verse in our present day. Many think Jesus commanded a universal acceptance of any lifestyle or teaching. It's a 'thin-line' you know? As Christian's we are called to unconditionally love...but not called to unconditional approval. In Matthew 7:16 Jesus said "You can identify them by their fruit"...Jesus is speaking against being judgmental, that is, judging motives and the inner man, which only God can know. We can judge the fruit of a man, but we can rarely judge their motives with accuracy. That's me...I struggle with this one so bad..."Lord, help me not to judge the motives and the "inner" man of my brothers and sisters in Your Body"........Amen
