Paul’s writings in Roman’s chapter 14 about the dangers of criticizing and judging others are powerful!  I love verses 12 & 13: “Yes, each of us will have to give a personal account to God. So don’t condemn each other anymore. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not put an obstacle in another Christian’s path.”  Wow…  that is something for each of us to consider.  That we ourselves can actually put obstacles in another Christian’s path toward God!  Do you think that you have ever done this in your life?  I do think that I have.  Never intentionally. But, when I have stopped loving and serving others and instead began judging and criticizing others, I do believe I have placed obstacles in other people’s paths!  Not to mention my own path!  Let us pray that we are not obstacles to others by judging and criticizing…

Bible.org’s commentary on today’s readings in Romans titled “Love and Liberty: Liberties Love Won’t Take” is at this link.

YouTube:  Today’s readings remind me of the Chris Tomlin song “King of Glory” and how it relates to Psalm 24.  This is a powerful song…  Who is this King of Glory!

Prayer Point: Pray that you are living for the Lord today. Pray that you will die in the Lord. Pray that you belong to the Lord.
