Starting The Day With God
Whatever you’ve done and whatever you face, turn to God first, each morning. Give him your day, and then allow him to guide each step.

If we have the thinking, “if someone is doing ‘x’, or not doing ‘y’, they can’t be a believer”, we are basically inferring that someone has no faith or belief in Christ because of their actions. That’s a pretty big leap, and a sure fire way to further the view that Christians are righteous, judgemental, hippacrits, essentially modern day Pharisees.
