Jesus tells us not to judge and then advises us to look in the mirror at ourselves before we even think about judging someone else.

But before he gives us this advice, he warns us of the consequences of judging others: “You too will be judged.”

When I asked the men, “Do you have a problem with judging?” - one replied, “No, actually I am pretty good at it.” That about sums it up, doesn’t it? Jesus warns us: “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged ….” Who among us is comfortable being judged in the same way we judge others? 

When I read Jesus’ parable about the four soils in Matthew 13, I see four very distinct descriptions of the men and women we have encountered over the past twenty years of 721 Ministries. And it is often not pretty.

God designed our human experience to be in partnership with him. Do you … can you possibly… think of yourself as a partner with God Almighty?? Yes you can! Tune in to see why and how!

Do you ever think of yourself as in partnership with God and with Jesus? You may be surprised to learn that this is exactly the way God set up our role in this world: Not to be employees, but actual partners. What would it look like if you learned to live this way?

In Acts 15, we see Paul and Barnabas in sharp dispute with the Jerusalem Pharisee Christians, who insist that all new Gentile Christians must be circumcised. Paul blows up at this, and thus, the showdown we call The Jerusalem Council. Is baptism the new circumcision?

Do you love Jesus? Are you loyal to Jesus? And if so, how does this influence your day-to-day living?  When I am tempted to do what I should not do or not do what I should, I ask myself, “What would my gratitude, and my love and my loyalty to Jesus mean in this situation?”  The answer is always and immediately obvious.

“I think I will be okay when I stand before St Peter.” Have you ever uttered the above, perhaps with a nervous chuckle?  Can we do better than “I think … I hope?” Can we have confidence in a wonderful reception from the Lord our Day before him?  The answer is absolutely “Yes.”  But how, and if so, why?

As we seek to understand Our Part & God’s Part, can we “Be Still” and “Get Moving” at the same time? Yes! But how and what would that look like. To find out tune in!
