Judgement

Many people fear being judged by others, while some couldn't care less what other people think. However no matter how we feel about judgement there is no way to avoid it, whether we are receiving it or sending it. I don't know how other religions deal with judgement however, in Christianity, the way judgement should be dealt with is clearly stipulated in:

Matthew 7:1-5 

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye

and 

Luke 6:37 

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Unfortunately, judgement is not as easy to avoid as we think it is. I mean we start out without intending to judge others but as soon as something happens or they do something that we don't agree with the door to criticizing is blast wide open.  

What do you think? Can it be avoided? How do you deal with judgement?

A Teenager's Confusion

Being a teenager is just about one of the hardest phases in our lives. And from the way some of the adults in our lives may act, you may get the impression that they were never really teenagers...
Everything is so confusing! Society expects us to make some of the most important decisions in our lives when our bodies are just about raging with hormones and we are the most spiritually susceptible to other influences. There are so many things out there that push us either away or towards God especially with everything becoming so over-sexualised and being religious becoming something to be ashamed of. This blog is not encourage or discourage anyone from Christianity or any other religion for that matter. All we are trying to do is show you that there can be a place without judgement, without hypocrisy and a platform for teenagers to ask and answer questions and make up their own mind about God.
