Are you STILL holding Tribunals?

Now some of you say, "That’s an odd question.  Nobody does tribunals anymore."  But I say we hold tribunals daily.

First let’s look at the word, tribunal.  This is where we try somebody before we love them!  If we are taking a stance on someone because of their race, gender, economic status, or by what we have "heard" about them, or simply assumed about them, or if what they do simply reminds you of YOUR past experiences and failures; do you automatically count them guilty of treason and deception against you, and "kill" them before you show them love?  Then you are guilty of holding tribunals!

Jesus said, "'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."  Mark 12:31  If we can’t give people the benefit of a doubt, and at the very least, take the time to ask, help, and show them love (after all that is what changed you, Gods love that is!) then how can we truly say we love the LORD?

Take inventory today.  See where you may be guilty of holding tribunals, and ask Jesus to fill your heart today with HIS love.  Let's truly be made in HIS image!
