Being a Christian is not about spending your time deciding who's right or wrong, which church is better, or critiquing other Christians around you. Our Christian being should be defined by our own personal walk with God. Whichever denomination we choose or whatever rules we try to incorporate into our daily lives -- none if it will matter when we're at the Gates of Heaven, trying to decide if our relationship with God was all that He wanted it to be. The truth is, once we build the foundation of our relationship with Christ to be strong and sturdy, our Holy Spirit will take dominion, and He will serve as the conviction and affirmation of our actions. No need for arguments, no need for debate. Since we serve the same God, there is only one right answer. It will only be a waste of time when we try to place judgment on things, when we know very well that the only one worthy of judging is our Lord on High.
It's time to reassess who we are, what our purposes are, and why we're even here in this world. We need to take a step down from that pedestal created by the world for us, whether it be from our friends, our family, or church, or our workplace. We are not worthy or deserving of our blessings, yet God gave us His only son so that we can walk with him in righteousness during our temporary time here on Earth. We don't have time to waste on pointing out what we may think are faults of others. If we bring that to the table on our day of judgment, I would assume God would not be too pleased, knowing that we could have loved and shared the fruit of salvation, but instead chose to take His place, like the devil did. Lower ourselves humbly to where we belong, and allow Him to rightfully reign above us. This will bring our lives into alignment, and victory will be ours... and trust me, the rewards in this are far more exceeding than the temporal rewards received from simply deciding who's right and who's wrong.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13

Reassessment: How High Have We Risen?
