YHC was not feeling it today, especially after skipping yesterday, but the men of Shawshank pulled him through as always. We dedicated this workout to Ken Doll’s campaign for Lexington One School District Board member, mainly to make fun of a certain brown nosing 9/11 Memorial team whose name will only be mentioned in the title of this back blast, but also to bring awareness to our region’s founder who would be more than an asset to this board. Our children need a man of his character to help guide an institution that rules a huge portion of their upbringing. From mentoring youths, to coaching baseball, to corralling a bunch of median age 40 year old children, this man is a proven leader. Hopefully our workout honored this today.

Devo:
– Matthew 7:1 “Judge not lest ye be judged”
– We constantly point out the mistakes, vulnerabilities, and flaws in others, but how much do we judge ourselves?
Our culture uses Matthew 7:1 “Judge not lest ye be judged” to promote a tolerance that often encourages acceptance of behaviors the Bible forbids. We know that wasn’t Jesus’ intention. So, what did Jesus mean when He told us not to judge?
– To judge means: to separate, to pick out, select, choose. By implication, it means to condemn, punish—avenge, conclude. It also carries the idea of having discernment. The passage where Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged” (Matthew 7:1) goes on to show us how to have discernment. Love is the proper motivation for not judging and for using good judgment.
– Paul wrote, “You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat… So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister” (Romans 14:10, 12, 13).
