Sermonette: Judging <\/p>\n

description: (hide) If Christ came tomorrow, would we be of any use to Him? We are to be preparing for a dual role of king and priest, having purview of both civil and religious functions. Like Solomon, we should be asking God for a discerning and understanding heart, capable of judging righteously. The ability to judge is inextricable from knowing God’s Commandments. A prospective king should make a copy of God’s Law, attempting to internalize it, learning how to judge. A Millennial priest also uses God’s judgments, discerning spiritual matters. In the future the saints will judge the world as well as angels. We are currently in training to be judges; it is imperative that we know the Law of God, the statutes and judgments in both the letter and spirit. Can we use these principles to get ourselves out of the sticky messes in which we occasionally find ourselves. Can we apply the Bible’s solutions to some of the current insoluble world problems? In the Baby Jessica case, the courts tragically did not take into account the character of the parents when awarding custody. The court did not take in the consequences of uttering a rash vow and entering contracts. In the future, our decisions will become law; it is imperative we inculcate God’s Law in our hearts. <\/p>\n
