Around the World in 88 Years -E Book - Arthur Burt

“Are you all right brother? Do you need anything to eat?” I said,“No, I’ve eaten on the plane.” So we went to the meeting.That night, I ministered on Romans 2… The Inexcusable Judgment.And I said, “That which irritates you is you in anotherperson. Greedy people quickly discern greed in other people.Bossy people are very, very quick to sense other people beingbossy. Who is it that says, “Ooohh, he’s so self-willed…”? Wellhow did you find out?”Romans 2 says you’re without excuse, whoever you are thatcrossed that line in judging somebody else unrighteously — becauseyou do the same thing. Well immediately, you react. Yousay, “Well I don’t.” God says you do. “I don’t.” You do.So I ministered this at the meeting that night and I said, “Youshow me a church where there’s a company of elders and oneelder stands up and points the finger at another elder and says,‘All you do is seek for position in this church!’” I said, “Well, whatdo you think he’s after?”After the meeting, the pastor came up all upset and he said,“Brother, if you’d been here last night at the elders meeting, youcouldn’t have said it more particularly. He said ,“I don’t knowwhat to do. Because that elder will never think I didn’t talk toyou.”“Well,” I said, “how could he? You know brother. I know. Godknows.”“Ah,” he said, “but he doesn’t.” I’ll have to go around in themorning and try and sort things out.Unerringly, I bow to this principle. The moment I climb to unrighteousjudgment, I’m revealing what I am. Nobody wouldknow, but it reveals itself by its cackle. And I reveal this sinfulheart of mine by its judgments. By my judgments.God says you’ll either believe it or you’ll prove it. Choose! If youdon’t believe it, you’ll prove it. Romans 2… The InexcusableJudgment! Without excuse! I’m the man sitting on the branchwhile I saw it off. And there may never have been a trace of thatin my life because of the grace of God until I judge. Then Godlifts the grace and I do it.215
