If you follow Twitter, listen to Talk Radio or watch Cable News, then you have a slight inclination on what’s wrong with this country and the world as a whole. Countless individuals have forgotten the words of Jesus in John 8:6-9, “let him who is without sin throw the first stone.” Blinded by hypocrisy, ignorance or simply oblivious to their spiritual condition, many are acting as judge, jury and executioner, piling on with stone after stone.
In view of TMZ’s release on their website earlier in the week of Ray Rice striking his soon to be wife in an elevator, the media has stirred the masses into a tizzy. With one person down, Ray Rice, kicked to the curb on Monday after being release by the Baltimore Ravens, the next victim is Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL. People are lining up in droves to take their shots, putting pressure on Goodell to resign. As radio and television analysts comment on the hot topic of this week, abused women, there’s an eerie silence for the unborn child, killed every day because the law says its okay.
The only person in the media who has made any sense this week is Steve Smith, veteran wide receiver of the Ravens, formerly a member of the Carolina Panthers. Steve reminded the press that God is the only true judge. Although citizens like to pretend to be the judge and part of the jury, God will hold everyone accountable based upon what they have done on earth, Matthew 12:36-37. Before another human being in thrown under the bus this week, refrain yourself the next time you have an urge to trash someone. For if you do, you will likely reap what you sow and one day you will be at the mercy of the judge, jury and executioner.
