Its so easy as a church and as people to judge people who live sinful lives. Especually people within the church who have sinned.
Of course some sin is more apparent than other sin.
What we tend to forget is, all sin is the same. Some people just become more strategic at hiding it as comepared to others. And I think as a church we have created this box out in the rain we shove our sin into and pray to God that the rain doesn't allow the box to soften allowing our sin to crumble out.
Instead of seeking help and prayer we have become acustomed to hiding any ounce of sin in our lives.

Who are we to judge sinful lives.
Who are we to hold grudges upon those who ahve sinned.
Havnt we all tasted the acid guilt of "sin" before?
In fact, the bible says that the only one who has not sinned is Jesus.

John 8 tells a story of a woman who was caught in adultery and they made her stand before the group and they said to Jesus; "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery (therefore this woman has committed a sin, the only difference with her sin and others, was she was caught)
In the law Moses commanded us to stone such women... Now what do you say?" The people asked. They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his fingers...
he said to them:  (John 8:7) "let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Everyone began to go away one at a time from the oldest to the youngest. Until Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
Jesus asked the woman- "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir." She said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared.
"Go now and leave your life of sin." Jesus spoke.

The truth is we have all had dirt on us, but Jesus has turned to us and has said- "You are beautiful and shiny to me, there is not one speck of dirt on you." We have been cleaned by his sinless blood.

And because we are sinners who are we to judge the dirt seen on others lives?
Why pick out the dirt on someone's life? When we can encourage them and love on them. We can remind them that God sent his son to die for our sin so that we may have life. By God's grace we are free, and the dirt is washed clean.
To be more like Jesus, we should not condemn for we would be hippocrits, but we should love.
More people would than do one thing that Jesus asked, that of- "Go now and leave your life of sin."
As long as we love on each other and help each other from this world, so that in heaven we can all have eternal life.

It's hard sometimes not to be manipulated by our past. But when we realize what we've had isn't good enough, we have no choice but to change- Gods grace is enough
