Don't make judgements about anyone ahead of time-before the Lord returns. For He will bring our darkest secrets to light and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each whatever praise is due. (1 Corinthians 4:5)
It's just too easy to criticize and judge others these days with social media sites serving as outlets for people to post negativity and spew hatred towards others. While not guilty of posting negative posts on my personal sites, I am guilty of forming strong opinions about other people, especially after reading what some are willing to share with the world on the internet.
Character makes up who you really are. Your reputation is what other people say about you, and often times it is a good indication of your true character . If you strive for godly character, then you strive to have a reputation as someone who has integrity, faithfulness, kindness, and love. If you are always negative, down, angry, and self-centered, with the world revolving around you at all times, then maybe it's time to re-evaluate things and learn how to turn over your rage and bitterness over to God.
We are not to judge others despite how easy it is and how common it is in today's culture.
