Double Standard
Start your day off with this 1 minute devotional from Pastor Mike Fabarez of Focal Point Radio Ministries.
Mike Fabarez: Here's Mike Fabarez, Bible teacher on Focal Point. All of us are born with a built-in double standard. When a careless driver cuts into our lane, we criticize their intelligence. But when we drift into someone else's lane, well then we defend our innocent mistake. We assign blame when we're wronged, but we don't take responsibility when we wrong others. God tells us in Romans 2:1 that at whatever point you judge the other, you're condemning yourself because you who pass judgment do the same things. God wants us to fix this double standard. He wants us to see our sin the same way we tend to see the sins of others because we cannot be cleansed of our sin until we see it clearly.
Guest (Male): That's Mike Fabarez, Bible teacher on Focal Point. Listen each weekday to Pastor Mike's half hour teaching program heard on this station and learn more about Focal Point when you go online to focalpointradio.org.
