Episode Synopsis

06/07/2025 - Doug PorsTrajectory CheckWhere is your life heading—towards Jesus or away?Small shifts lead to major misalignment over time.Redefining JudgementModern English skews “judgement” as harsh condemnation.Biblical Judgement = Discernment + Restoration (Greek: Krino).It’s not the opposite of love—it is love in action, confronting injustice and healing brokenness.Judgement in PracticeGod’s judgement is corrective, not punitive.Meant to restore right relationships, justice, peace.Jesus models this: calling out injustice (e.g., Temple cleansing), not to condemn, but to restore worship and justice.Scripture HighlightsIsaiah 1:16-18, 58:6-10, Psalm 98:9, Jeremiah 7, John 3:16-17, Luke 6:41-42, Psalm 139:23-24Judgement calls us back to God and each other, not away from Him.God’s Heart in JudgementGod loves too much to leave the world broken.Judgement is love expressed as correction.Jesus takes our judgement to bring life, not death.Living Under Loving JudgementStop hiding. Start confessing.Embrace correction—it leads to healing.Be a restorer, not a condemner.Let God judge us to align our hearts with His.Final InvitationJudgement = Invitation to wholeness.“Search me, O God… lead me in the way everlasting.” (Ps. 139)
