People are generally quick to judge and criticize some while praising and lifting up others and many times they do not even know all the facts.

As Christians, we need to have the mind of Christ. We need to look at things the way God looks at them. Peter was rebuked by Jesus many times for not looking at things with the mind of Christ. Saul, before he became the Apostle Paul, believed he was doing a great work for God by arresting the "Christians" and having them thrown into prison. But all the while he was fighting against God. He was not seeing things the way God saw them. Let us be careful to always pray and diligently seek the mind of Christ before judging anything.

Candidate 1 Jim Jones (cult leader)

Candidate 2 Jesus Christ (the Son of God)
