Speaking against one another is evil

 “Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?” (James 4:11-12 ESV)

This is troubling

A headline I saw recently on a social media site about a well known television preacher - “Exposed! A shocking look at why he is a fraud!” I didn’t read the article. I’m sure it was meant to discredit and harm him. It seems the more famous you are, the more critics you will have to judge and attack you. Jesus not only had them, they crucified Him. I believe you should never attack others. Leave judgement to God because He will deal with these all things correctly.

Passing judgement

“Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.” (Rom. 14:4 ESV)

The truly spiritual restore with gentleness

“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.” (Gal. 6:1 ESV)

Don’t side with the devil, who is the accuser of the brethren, God will eventually cast him down

“Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.” (Rev. 12:10 NKJV)
