Have you judged someone today?

Edited to add: Please read to the end for the rest of the story. YHVH is indeed faithful. It could be like coffee for some people, the need to judge other people’s motives and actions. It’s an important job really! We need to determine in our hearts what is wrong with other people, so we […]
