A Lesson from Judge Joe Brown
“Your honor, I’m a Christian woman…” the case started out. Followed by “your honor, I listen to Christian music at night” and of course “your honor, I try to live a good Christian life.”
It was about the fourth time the woman emphasized her “incredible” Christian values when Judge Joe Brown had to put things into proportion, by pointing out that neither she or her husband followed the Bible, as they were both (actively) having sex– something Judge Joe Brown points out is forbidden by the Bible.
Amazingly, the woman’s claims of being a “good, faithful” Christian came to a screeching halt! On the flip side, the man (also claiming to be a Christian) said he would have divorced her (if they ever married) simply because she wouldn’t have been able to contribute as much financially to the hypothetical marriage.
Now, I could be wrong… but doesn’t the Bible say something about that too? Just the same, it’s good to know we have two “outstanding” Christians in the world today. And just think how many people today claim to be “good Christians” but fail to keep even the most basic of God’s commandments. How many people claim to love Christ, but fail to demonstrate that love in the most basic of ways.
After all, anyone can “claim to be a ‘good’ Christian,” and look upon themselves as a good person… but what happens to that claim when we compare it against God’s standards? And more importantly, are we trying to obey God, or are we just assuming the title without any dedication? Are we simply being Christians in the areas that it suits us, while ignoring the commandments that do not fit with the lifestyle we want?
Something to think about, because in the end we won’t be answering to Judge Joe Brown pointing out our flaws, but rather the greatest judge in all of creation, in fact the judge who created all of creation. What will His verdict on our life be?
