Happy Monday. It is a happy Monday because it is.

 We get upset and we speak.........

Sometimes we just speaking without thinking and judging others as if we are God. Now if God call you something he is the judge. However no preacher or teacher is the judge. No person under God can call you fit or unfit. Good or bad. They are called to lead and grow you. If they fail to do that it's time to let them go. 

But if you are bad God can make you good. No man makes himself good so why are we judging.

The names we call others. The ways we can belittle others. We are tearing down and not building up. 

I knew a preacher who took pride in saying, I speak the truth. So if you were ugly he called you ugly. If you were less than what the bible said he told you. The problem was he was speaking reality and not faith. He enjoyed it. But I always thought. I want to be different. The more he shamed people the less change they made. But inspiration is throwing a life line. 

Not to regulate others with harsh treatments but can you inspire them to be good by giving them something to believe in. 

Feed the good and kill the bad. Don't glorify what's wrong. Compliment what's right. Let God be the judge of their character. We can not label their character without knowing them. God can use those same people you demean just to show you. It's by his grace that anyone of us is good. We are not good because of ourselves so who are we to call someone less than a child a of God no matter how they act. 

 Matthew 5:22:

Jesus directly addresses the serious nature of name-calling, stating, "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be liable to the hell of fire". 

James 1:26:

This verse emphasizes that if someone thinks they are religious but doesn't control their tongue, their religion is worthless. It connects the act of not bridling the tongue with deception, implying that hurtful words are contrary to true faith. 

Ephesians 4:29:

The Apostle Paul encourages believers to "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear". Name-calling, such as calling someone an "idiot," is corrupting and does not build up. 

If you dont believe in God and you love to call others dirty names. Then remember this. Its not what you are called but its what you answer to. This one was one your momma told you....if the kids at school picked on you. "It takes one to know one." But dont confuse me with you. 

Have a beautiful day. 

We are not the judge. We are not the jury on someone else life or bad or good habits. God is merciful and he doesn't need our judgments on who is worthy.

Proverbs 11:12:

This proverb states, "Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent". This suggests that name-calling demonstrates a lack of wisdom and understanding.
