Avoid Passing Judgment

The recent sex abuse scandals that have come to light in Hollywood and in the Church provide easy fodder for passing judgment, So it was in Corinth 2,000 years ago, but Paul wisely offered advice to the Corinthians that still is good advice today.:  "...do not make any judgment before the appointed time, until the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the motives of our hears, and then everyone will receive praise from God." (1 Cor4:5).  A hard saying when pain and corruption demand action. Reason, patience and understanding also demand a part. Investigation, and as thorough a knowledge of "both sides" will, with God's help, lead to right judgement.  Jumping to quick, biased conclusions will not help.
