Hey there, I'm so glad you stopped by for this podcast. We hope so much we can serve you today.

Go to verse four with me for a moment. I just want to get your minds rolling here.

Verse four says this. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master, he stands or

false. Boy, have I thought about that verse a ton. We're talking about areas of personal

conviction. Sometimes some decisions we make, this definitely happened to me pretty early on in

to have before the judge that we just determine he's the only one. He said, we're all going

to be really glad when we stand before him. If we lived a life that testified, really, God,

you're it. Doesn't mean we don't have a discernment. And that's a lesson of its own. But there

are times we discern something that we need to back away from
