Of mirrors and microscopes

A lot of people in the last five or ten years, possibly more have really struggled with feelings about the Christian faith. They feel judged, ostracized, left out, and often targeted and judged for a myriad of reasons.

And it got me to thinking. See, in Exodus, the finger of God wrote, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." He didn't write "Thou shalt make sure thy neighbor Bob does not commit adultery."


Which in turn led me to realize, God meant His commandments to be used, not as a microscope to analyze investigate and pick apart others, but rather, He meant His commandments to be used as a mirror, to be used for honest reflection of our own strengths as well as weaknesses.

Talk to ya later- I gotta go check a mirror ;)
