"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Cor 2:14-16 NIV)
The spiritually immature are not capable of judging properly which is why the scriptures instruct them to judge not less they be judged. The spiritually mature however, because of their capability, are compelled to judge all things! Have no fear! Judge and judge rightly. The world needs us to do so!
PRAYER: Lord, you have called us and prepared us to judge all things. Empower us with the boldness to walk in our calling without fear. Amen!
1 Cor 2:15-16. . . . But the spiritual man has insight into everything, and that bothers and baffles the man of the world, who can't understand him at all. How could he? For certainly he has never been one to know the Lord's thoughts, or to discuss them with him, or to move the hands of God by prayer. But, strange as it seems, we Christians actually do have within us a portion of the very thoughts and mind of Christ. TLB
