Hey there, I'm so glad you stopped by for this podcast.

We hope so much we can serve you today.

Go to Verse 4 with me for a moment.

I just want to get your minds rolling here.

Verse 4 says this.

Who are you to judge someone else's servant?

To his own mastery, stands or falls.

Boy, if 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 the ministry.

I was criticized fairly harshly for making some decisions to let go of some things and

to let go of a ton of my social life, a ton of my social life.

And somebody spoke this word over me early on, and I've gone back to it over and over

in my mind, even if I haven't spoken it.

I've got to know what God's telling me to do.

Because to my master, a servant rises or falls, and you've got to know that too.

You just got to know, you can't always explain to everybody where they're going to understand

where you have a personal conviction.

But you just got to know that it's to your own master where you stand or fall.

for words we could.
