1 Corinthians 5:12-13 (ESV)
12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?
13 God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
It seems we do the opposite. We spend so much time condemning people who don’t believe what we believe. We spend so little time calling out the wrong done by those inside the church. We excuse or justify. I guess we are afraid our mess will be exposed.
Well, I have just set you free from what is not your job. God will judge those on the outside of our beliefs if they are to be judged at all. We should focus on “in the house.”
If we do this we will become a light on a hill, instead of the oppressors of God’s greatest creation, mankind.

This is an interesting verse of scripture. And we spend a lot of time judging others and not searching our hearts and correcting our own mishaps.

It definitely should change how we do things.
