Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

"It is very hard, but biblically necessary, not to judge others because of their disagreement with our judgment regarding scripturally uncertain issues.  An 'Aha! moment' occurred for me in ministry when I learned to ask a key question about advising others:  Is it more wrong to allow what God prohibits, or to prohibit what God allows?  This is actually a trick question because both alternatives are equally wrong.  Either alternative would put me in the position of the Lawgiver.  God allows only himself the prerogative to determine holy standards."
