For Sunday, August 30, 2026:
Luke 6:37 NLT, Jesus speaking: “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.”
Jesus says to not judge others. Implied in that command is to not judge harshly. There would be nothing wrong with judging someone’s performance, finding out that they’d done a great job and giving them a pat on the back, an attaboy!
The Golden Rule applies here. If we criticize others all the time, we would be part of a criticizing culture. And in that culture, our own efforts would be subject to criticism by others. Mankind always seems to have advice on how someone else should do something. We should all listen to my mother, who said, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all!”
We’ll look at forgiveness tomorrow. It’s a huge topic that takes up a lot of space on God’s teaching agenda. May we all be blessed on this Sabbath day!
