Judging others!

Someone just posted on Facebook:
Some people should stop shouting Jesus Jesus to other people. Go read your Bible. Its a sin to judge, its a sin to say bad things about other people, its a sin to get drunk, its a sin to lie, its a sin to fornicate out of wedlock, its a sin to lust after money and other things etc etc etc. Not guilty, well then you can act holy and live the part. Until then, go sing, Silence is golden and leave other people alone!

I seriously have a problem with judgmental people. Who gave them the right and authority to judge others? God did certainly not authorize us to judge, however He said "Judgement is mine ...".
However He commanded us to love and accept each other unconditionally. If you see someone on the street corner, who am I to judge? If someone does not believe like you, who am I to judge? If someone does not smell like you, who am I to judge?

Another Facebook post
God het almal gemaak. Almal veskil, almal uniek, almal special. So as jy mense judge, judge jy God. Daars te veel mense wat so graag God wil wees, but oh Lord their own ways disapprove of their godliness

Would His Word still be enough for his people to come together?” (Radical)"

Cooking Therapy

Recently, (the past year) I started cooking more and more, not only the basic home food, but some complicated dishes as well. And I enjoy it, I find it relaxing. When I am busy preparing something, I do not have time to thing about anything else. Cooking sort of became a necessity because my wife got provincial colours in Taekwondo and is preparing to attend the World Championships. She would take the meat out of the fridge in the afternoon, or start the dish and quite often I would prepare what I like or finish off the dish, ready when they return from their training session in the evening. But my cooking did not start off by accident. I spent two years in Mozambique as an expat where I had to cook for myself, and there I learnt the usefulness of a slow-cooker. Then in June 2014 I experienced a episode of burn-out. Big Time! Burn-out occurs when you are under prolonged stress and is characterised by total exhaustion, (physical, emotional and mental). You tend to loose interest ...
