0:35.8	Judges chapter 11, verse 27, I therefore have not sinned against you and you do me wrong by making war on me the Lord the judge decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon
0:50.0	and these are words that Jeptha sent to the king of the Ammonites.
0:57.1	And Jephthah is pointing to the reality that God is the ultimate judge of what is right and wrong.

1:52.0	his commendation from God so I read that in 1st Corinthians chapter 4 based on judges chapter 11
2:00.0	because well if we're not careful if you are not careful if i'm not
2:05.3	careful we will view ourselves through the judgments of others or will view ourselves through our own
2:15.3	judgments of ourselves and what's's so helpful that Paul talks about
2:19.3	in 1st Corinthians chapter 4 is we should not look to others judgments of us as the
2:27.1	determinant of who we are or even our own judgments of ourselves. But we should fix our eyes on God as our judge and to look at our lives
