Episode 478 - When we judge, we step outside of God's presence

<p><a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/romans/2?1">Rom 2:1-11</a></p> <p>You, O man, are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment.<br> For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself,<br> since you, the judge, do the very same things.<br> We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true.<br> Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things<br> and yet do them yourself,<br> that you will escape the judgment of God?<br> Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience<br> in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God<br> would lead you to repentance?<br> By your stubbornness and impenitent heart,<br> you are storing up wrath for yourself<br> for the day of wrath and revelation<br> of the just judgment of God,<br> who will repay everyone according to his works,<br> eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality<br> through perseverance in good works,<br> but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth<br> and obey wickedness.<br> Yes, affliction and distress will come upon everyone<br> who does evil, Jew first and then Greek.<br> But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone<br> who does good, Jew first and then Greek.<br> There is no partiality with God.Psalm <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/psalms/62?2">62:2-3, 6-7, 9</a></p> <p>R.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;(13b) <strong>Lord, you give back to everyone according to his works.</strong><br> Only in God is my soul at rest;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;from him comes my salvation.<br> He only is my rock and my salvation,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;my stronghold; I shall not be disturbed at all.<br> R.&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>&nbsp;Lord, you give back to everyone according to his works.</strong><br> Only in God be at rest, my soul,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;for from him comes my hope.<br> He only is my rock and my salvation,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;my stronghold; I shall not be disturbed.&nbsp;<br> R.&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>&nbsp;Lord, you give back to everyone accor
