DEVOTIONS
When you drive around the town of Fairfield, or even Freestone County at large, one thing you’re going to see is churches! You’ll see numerous places of worship that meet at various times of the week and offer a variety of methods and practices with which to grow in our knowledge of God. For some there will be the claim, “Look at all these different churches, these Christians can’t agree on anything!” They might have even seen the name outside the building and cast judgment without even stepping inside! “Oh, that’s a Baptist church, I know what THEY believe!” Oh, those are Methodists, I’ve heard some things about them!
Here is the reality of human beings, we like to judge. We like to judge because at the end of the day, in the deepest recesses of our soul, we want to be superior to everyone else. Anyone who can pass by a community of people and cast judgment is operating on an extremely dangerous level of arrogance. This is the case for both those who do not belong to a faith community and self-proclaiming lifelong Christians. To simply sit in judgment or pass aspersions without knowing the full story is something that hinders a soul from fully experiencing the measure and depth of God.
