Do Not Despise Your Neighbor


We must make sure that we do not feel that a person or a thing is beneath consideration. We don’t need to feel as if a person is worthless. Nor should we feel like they are deserving scorn. We cannot disregard our neighbor that should be considered. We cannot have a deep intense disgust for our neighbor. We would mourn the day that we knew someone felt this way about us. We are to love them as we love ourselves.


“He who despises his neighbor sins; but he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.” Proverbs 14:21 NKJV

The Effects

Make sure you are taking into account eternity with every choice you make about fun and pleasure. We will all be held accountable. As a family, we want to cultivate an environment that continually produces good wholesome fun. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 1 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV

Complaining

Complaining means it is about me. Life in Christ is not about us. Our Christian walk is about God and our neighbor. We do not get the privilege of complaining as blessed servant slaves of righteousness.  We must think twice before we speak our complaints.  (Phil. 2:14-16; Lk. 10:27)

Be Careful Judging

Judgment is wrong. Righteous judgement is not. That is, we can evaluate others lives based on the word and go to their aid when they are struggling. However, the final judgment call is by our Master.  God makes that ruling on judgement day. Be careful lest you be found making the final judgement on someone. (Romans 14:4) “Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.” Romans 14:4 NKJV
