Ephesians 4:11-17

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. (Ephesians 4:11-17)

Judgment Between Men



(It’s Sarah here.  I just want to apologize for this post being several weeks late.  Mark had it written and ready for me to post a while back, but I just haven’t had the time to get around to it these past few weeks.  Again, my apologies!)

We understand that true justice, and judgment, comes from God.  We are not given authority to judge between saved and unsaved; to give ultimate judgment of a man’s soul.  However, Man is still able to make judgments on people – commanded to, in fact.  In this he is not commanded to judge between eternal condemnation or redemption, but for smaller matters.
