Matthew 7 begins like this: “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
A lot of Christians have been bashing and throwing judgmental remarks at Ms. Cyrus, and to her I say, "I'm sorry". We have no idea what she has gone through in her life and what she is currently dealing with. We, as Christians, should not waste our time condemning her and everyone else present. As our example is Christ, here is what He has to say in John chapter 3: 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
We are the hope of the world! The problem is, we don't act like it. Rather, we spend our time debating each other and debating people who don't share the same views we do. However, it is all trivial unless we are acting like the hope of the world is in us and we are sharing the Good News of the Gospel.
It pains me to see people treat others according to their mishaps and mess ups. As Christians, we should treat every person as a soul with an eternal destination. If we concerned ourselves more with that and making sure their destination was with Christ through love and grace, then we would then see a culture shift.

I leave you now with a link to Mr. Wilson's blog. I want you to read it there. I don't want to take credit for anything he has written, so here it is.
