In our latest video, we tackle a pressing issue that affects many congregations across the country and even within our own churches. Despite the understanding that we should not judge others, it still happens far too often. Why is this so prevalent, even among those who follow Christ's teachings of love and acceptance? This video delves into why judgment occurs so frequently, particularly in our churches, where we should be the most supportive and understanding.

Judgment can take many forms, from criticizing someone's irregular attendance at church to questioning their support for church ministries. Unfortunately, this behavior can create a toxic environment that discourages individuals from participating and feeling connected to their faith community. It's important to remember that everyone's journey with God is unique, and there are many reasons why someone might not attend church regularly or participate in every ministry. Rather than jumping to conclusions, we should seek to understand and support each other in our spiritual walks.

As Christians, we are called to love one another and to build each other up, not to tear each other down with judgment and criticism. At Highland Hills, we strive to embody this principle, but we acknowledge that this issue is still prevalent in many other churches within the Texas Conference and beyond. Let this video serve as a reminder to reflect on our own actions and attitudes, striving to create a more loving and accepting community. Remember, God's love is unconditional, and we should mirror that love in our interactions with others. #Faith #Love #Acceptance #NoJudgment #ChristianCommunity
