Our opinion is probably one of the most sacred mind set we have. Each and everyone\u00a0of us have an opinion about something, of which, to us\u00a0is correct and it\u00a0needs to be respected by others. But, sometimes our opinion about someone else can be wrong or\u00a0not completely correct; a speck, and will affect our interaction with that person. Now, the way we form opinion is by the things we hear, interpret and see, and depending on how easily we sway by influences our opinion can be flawed. Depending on ones faith his opinion can be affected, if he is a person that doubts or becomes uncertain easily then he is\u00a0double mind as written in James 1:7. So, depending on ones opinion we judge the right or wrong on someone or something.<\/p>\n<p>Mathew 7:<span class=\"text Matt-7-1\"><span class=\"chapternum\">2-6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"chapter-1\"><span class=\"text Matt-7-1\"><span class=\"chapternum\">7\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"woj\">\u201cJudge not, that you be not judged.<\/span> <\/span> <span id=\"en-NKJV-23319\" class=\"text Matt-7-2\"><sup class=\"versenum\">2\u00a0<\/sup><span class=\"woj\">For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.<\/span> <\/span> <span id=\"en-NKJV-23320\" class=\"text Matt-7-3\"><sup class=\"versenum\">3\u00a0<\/sup><span class=\"woj\">And why do you look at the speck in your brother\u2019s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?<\/span> <\/span> <span id=\"en-NKJV-23321\" class=\"text Matt-7-4\"><sup class=\"versenum\">4\u00a0<\/sup><span class=\"woj\">Or how can you say to your brother, \u2018Let me remove the speck from your eye\u2019; and look, a plank <i>is<\/i> in your own eye?<\/span> <\/span> <span id=\"en-NKJV-23322\" class=\"text Matt-7-5\"><sup class=\"versenum\">5\u00a0<\/sup><span class=\"woj\">Hypocrite!

Now, there are people that say we should not judge and rightly we should not judge people outside the church, but those in the church. Paul tells us that it is not our business to judge those outside the church only those in side (1Cor. 5:12-13). Our own condition is crucial to how people react to our opinion. If in our lives we have plank size situations\u00a0and by that we mean clearly visible to all, then our opinions will be trample on\u00a0(v.6). Everyone has a speck\u00a0or two in their eye, they\u00a0have things that are not right when zoomed in with what the bible says, and they only way that these\u00a0things can be corrected is\u00a0through a self analysis. There are things that bible tells us that are totally wrong and we should watch out for them, because they can bring dishonor (Eccl. 10:1).\u00a0But, when we do them they establish an opinion on other that causes a judgmental mindset to arise (Prov. 23:7), and they can hurt like sharp, arrows or swords (Prov. 25:18). Paul and the apostles left an amazing testimony on the church of which they felt good about (2Cor. 1:12), and it is the feeling that comes over one when their testimony is spotless. When your testimony is spotless only positive conversation is heard about you, Ecclesiastes 7:1 says that a good name is better then fine perfume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judge an opinion\u00a0concerning\u00a0right\u00a0and wrong; an easy and often activity we engage ourselves with, and at time without intent.
