I'll Be the Judge of That

Brian Bales, the pastor of Christian Fellowship Church in Ashburn, VA, asked me if I’d be interested in doing a Sunday message this summer. I was very excited and truly honored to share part of my story with my church.

Far too often, we believe we need to “earn it” - approval, affection, attention, love, value. If I believe I have to “earn it,” then it’s all on me. ALL of it - whatever “it” is. And it seems like judging goes hand in hand with earning because if it’s all on me, then I have to be the judge of what’s good, bad, worthy, not worthy, need to try harder at, need to be better at…because how else will I “earn it”? And that translates to judging others, too, because comparing myself to others is how I know what’s good or bad, worthy, not worthy…so that I can “earn it.” 

We go round and round, and it's so vicious! If you find yourself stuck in a similar cycle, I hope you find this message to be helpful.
