Section 17

We must receive the believers in the light of the judgment seat of God. We should not criti cize others, but judge ourselves. If we do not judge ourselves, we shall have to give an account before the judgment seat of Christ. Some sisters in a certain group cover their head with a long white covering and are accustomed to judging and condemning other sisters who pray without a covering or who, at best, only wear a small cap. Although these sisters cover themselves with a long white covering in the church meetings, some of them usurp the headship of their hus bands at home. They need to judge themselves in this matter. Do not judge others, judge your self. Whenever we are about to receive another believer in the Lord, we must exercise our dis cernment in the light of the judgment seat and say, "O Lord, have mercy on me. I am not wor thy to judge my brother. Cover me, Lord. I want to be judged by You. I want to pass judgment on myself, on my life and living." This should be our attitude.

We should not criticize others, but should pass judgment on ourselves. If we fail to do it now, we shall stand before the judgment seat of God and do it then. We must all be enlightened by the judgment seat. Whenever a new believer

comes to us, we must exercise our discernment in receiving him. However, in the light of the judgment seat of God, we must judge ourselves more. Thus, Paul's thought in Romans 14:10-12 is that we should not judge others, but let the Lord take care of them. We should judge our selves. As we are about to judge others, let us re member that the Lord will reckon with us when He returns. This is a serious matter.
