Unfair Judgment.

Romans 14:4
4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Trying to get back on track...

As humans, most of us are fully capable of seeing and hearing the world around us. It is a melting pot. In other words, everyone is different. Some are small and some are large; some can walk and some can't; some have a high-pitched voice and some have a low-pitched voice; some are Christian and some aren't. The list could go on for miles!

Anyways, the point is that Paul is specifically discussing judgment about people's faith. As Christians, we tend to have this circle of hotheadedness, the idea that we're better than non-believers, that is. However, it is anything but our job to judge people with regard to faith or anything really. Whose responsibility is this? The Lord's. Thus, it is in our best interest to pass without judging.

So often it's easy for us to find the fault in others. Yet, we don't even look at our own selves and the obvious sin that exists there. Someone's sin is equally as bad as yours. Just remember that you will be asked to respond to God for everything you do just as much as someone else's wrongdoings. At least Jesus died to redeem us.

Unfair judgment is a hard thing to avoid, so pray about it if you're struggling with this authority issue. Finally, may God use as a source of encouragement for one trying to understand their purpose and plan in God's will.
