a Crusty, Ill-Tempered Old Man
derived from the intransitive verb…curr meaning the murmuring sound of a dove.
TWo old men on the muppets.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW
WENHEM TAKES GOOD AND BAD AS A MERISM (EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN)
EVE SAW THE TREE AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW EVERYTHING...OMNISCIENCE
MAN'S DESIRE FOR GOD AT THE FALL BECOMES A DESIRE TO BE GOD.
THE MOVE IS SUBTLE THAT PRODUCES CONFUSION.
CAIN LATER KILLS HIS BROTHER NOT IN A PREMEDITATED STATE, BUT IN A MOMENT OF LOSING CONTROL...SO THE PROBLEM OF THE SITUATION IS NOT THAT MAN CAN REASON EVIL, BUT THAT HE CAN'T REASON OUTSIDE OF HIS OWN SELF INTERESTS.
SOME SEE THIS AS SEXUALITY...
BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
MARTIN BUBER
GOOD AND BAD REFERS TO THE OPPOSITES LATENT IN CREATION THAT CAN BE ASSESSED AS GOOD OR BAD DEPENDING ON THE PERSPECTIVE.
FOR THE FIRST TIME MAN BEGAN TO EVALUATE LIFE, CREATION...WHAT WAS GOOD AND BAD WHAT WAS BENEFICIAL...ETC.
BEFORE ADAM AND EVE JUST ACCEPTED CREATION WITH NO DISTINCTION.
GOD KNEW ALL OF THIS.
NOW MAN KNOWS THIS.
FOUR VALID REASONS FOR THIS INDEPENDENT EVALUATION IDEA.
What is meant by Judgment.
Judgement usually arises from a self-centered source
seeking to assign blame - …everyone is blaming everyone else.
Whereas
Discernment arises from Humility and the desire for what will make things better…and encourage the body.
Each of us tends to be either people of Grace or People of Truth…that’s why we have boards and Leadership Teams.
Judgement vs Discernment.
Don’t Judge the World
Don’t Judge with Haste
When you judge with haste you judge by
Appearances
Without all the truth...
And you judge with Discrimination
1 Cor 10.8-10

Leave Judgment to Elected Leadership
Leaders are called upon to exercise discipline and make discerrning judgment.
Jesus was the perfect balance between Truth and Grace.
Each of us tends to be either people of Grace or People of Truth…that’s why we have boards and Leadership Teams.
Don’t Judge the Heart
You are not to judge what you cannot see.
Judge as you would be Judged.
Children judge parents until they become one.
We judge pastors until we have that role.
Judge yourself
People Pleasers.
If you want to be a curmudgeon…be a curmudgeon
on your own life.
HUMILITY
Paul is an example of this when he cites that at times he didn’t receive payment for ministry though he was certainly authorized to do so.
He was ll things to all people.
He talks about the incredible freedom we have in Christ, yet humility is willing to suffer restraint so that no one rejects the gospel because of what they see in us.
1 COR 6.4-8
WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS.
YOU JUST MIGHT BE SAVED FROM A HEART ATTACK.
I REMEMBER SOME YEARS AGO A NURSE TELLING MY THAT AN IRATE ANGRY MAN STORMED INTO THE HOSPITAL AND IN A TIRADE TOWARD ANOTHER PERSON....THEN HAD A MASSIVE CORONARY.
WHAT YOU SAY MATTERS?
IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE WOULD ALL APPLY THE SCRIPTURE TO OUR LIVES ON A CONSISTENT BASIS.
IMAGINE THE FREEDOM OF THE LORD’S TABLE.
EVERYTHING IS RIGHT AS FAR AS IT IS POSSIBLE IN YOU.
QUESTIONS:
Do you tend to be a person of Grace or a person of Truth?
How are you doing at discerning your friends…knowing they will determine the outcome of your life?
What do you tend to judge in others?
When was the last time you had an introspective look at your own life?
When you come to this table this morning, are you at peace as far as it is possible with all of your relationships?
Is there someone you need to forgive?
Is there someone of whom you need to ask forgiveness?
