description: (hide) Christians should not serve on juries because God has not equipped us at this time to look into peoples’ hearts and motives. The apostle Paul gave us a clue in I Corinthians 5 that, when God’s laws are flagrantly violated (such as any kind of blatant sexual perversion), communal consent is required to bring pressure on the offender. Matthew 18:15-20 establishes clear protocol in dealing with conflicts among brethren, yet, practicing Christians rarely follow the first step, going to one’s brother privately, having replaced it with the institution of a merciless "rumor mill." We should never become a stumbling block for other brethren; we should not hold on to still shots we snapped four, five, or six years ago. We should remember that the speck we see in a brother’s eye may be overshadowed by a railroad tie in our own eye. When we feel inclined to put on our judge’s gowns, we need to focus on our own shortcomings instead of acting like busy bodies judging other people. <\/p>\n
