a thought
What is it that is so different about christians... compared to other christians... How exactly should christians behave in public? What kind of behavior are we showing to others? even to other christians? Slacking on the job? Jostling in a queue? Speaking behind others? Are such the actions we want others to be seeing. keep in mind brothers... such actions are already unbecoming from a moral point of view... but what that of a christian?
I am disgusted. We must try harder, my family in christ...
The Fulfillment of the Law (Matthew 5:17)
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
I am not perfect and i have my reflecting to do.
Judging Others (Matthew 7:1)
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
