My name is Mike Ratliff. I am a δουλος (slave) of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been a Bible teacher since the late 1980's. I am currently learning Koine Greek, which I began in 1992 and will continue to do so until the Lord takes me home. I am Reformed in my theology because I recognize that God is Sovereign over all things. I write these posts as God directs. I am also part of the discernment team at Christian Research Network. This is my study on Jesus’ command to His disciples to not judge others hypocritically. Enjoy and be blessed.

I have read through this series with much delight anticipating the next page… knowing that it is uncompromising truth that reflects God’s standard of judgement. What is brought out so well in these writings is our erroneous tendency to judge with a double standard, when in fact we are called to discern with a righteous, God-honoring judgement.
This is a well-written, must-read that should be published. It is both properly convicting and immensely encouraging. This book does not compromise the true Gospel, but proclaims it loudly and richly.
