DON’T JUDGE
The bible said “judge not that you might not be judged”. Who are we to judge or condemn our fellow human beings. The most common thing among beings is judging one another; it is so bad for a person to judge or condemn his fellow human being. Paul was judged and condemn by the people on the island of malta.

Not all prisoner are guilty, some were framed up just as paul; when paul was on the island he gathered an armful of sticks to lay fire, a poisonous snake driven out by the heat of the fire fastened itself to his hand, people exclaimed NO WONDER, ONCE A MURDERER!
Moreover, the people expected him to suddenly fall or begin swelling and be dead, because of the venom of the poisonous snake; but instead he shook off the snake from his hands and was unharmed. It was then, the people respected him and called gods; but they have judged him at first. Only JESUS is the judge, coming soon to judge the world. Beloved, judge not so you won’t be judged.

Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24: But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
