Thanks for listening and be in a part of real faith and remember it's all about Jesus

Well, what are you guys doing?

I preached on the wrath of God gender sex and marriage last week. I'm surprised anybody came back

Really and if you're new you you came at the right time last week those four people they're still in counseling

It was rough, but we're glad to have you and if you're new

We're going through a book of the Bible called Romans today. We're in Romans chapter two and

We're gonna talk a little bit about judgment and being judgy so we could just start by being honest

Is it true or false that today? There's just a lot of judgements going on in America true of us

Lot of judgements lot of political judgements lot of mass judgements lot of economic judgements lot of racial judgements lot of social judgements

Lot of moral judgements judgey judgey judgey judgey judgey judgey judgey judgey judgey

We're gonna talk about that because there's something in us that looks at the world and says things are wrong

They need to be made right that's called righteousness

Things are unjust they need to be made just that's justice

Therefore someone needs to judge and bring justice and righteousness and so as we look at this

I want to start with this first principle that Paul has regarding judgment and justice and righteousness

It's a very encouraging and uplifting idea that you are the problem not the solution

That's where he starts in Romans chapter two verse one. How many of you find that very encouraging?

Yeah, I'm the problem. Okay, let me say your spouse agrees with this principle whether you do or not

Okay, this is the principle as we look at the world what we tend to think is there's a lot of problems in the world

And we need to say that we are part of the problem, amen? All right, you're not excited you will be therefore

You have no excuse when he says that we look at the world and we judge what we tend to do is we tend to judge the world and excuse ourselves
