Judging
“For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Matthew 7:2
Dear Journey Family…
“Don’t judge!”
That’s a common phrase we hear now a days. But what do people mean or what do we understand the phrase means?
Many times the subtext is “I know that what I am doing is wrong, but I still want to do it, and I don’t need you to remind me that I am doing something wrong, because who are you to tell me I’m wrong anyway?”
That’s a lot of subtext behind two words -”Don’t judge”
So should we judge? Well, thank the Lord he left very clear instructions on judging. He said, look at yourself first before judging. That doesn’t mean don’t judge, it means to be aware of our own faults, and not come at people from a high and mighty position, but from a humble one; but we still need one another to help us be better. We do have a hard time looking at ourselves and sometimes a good, timely advice can save someone from making bad decisions or from a life apart from God.
So we start taking a look inwards but then we go and help those around us and point them towards Jesus.

Last Call To Be Thankful
One more Sunday to record your “thankful video”. We want anyone that would like to express their gratitude to our Lord and share it with Journey to have a chance to do so.
It can be a whole list or just one word. We all have something to be thankful for.
We will be showing the compiled videos during our Thanksgiving Communion Service on Sunday, November 27, so make sure to be on your seat right at the beginning of the service so you don’t miss it.
