Judging Others – J. R. Miller (Christian devotional)

Wikipedia

The following 15-minute reading of J R Miller’s work provides much information about communicating with others, Christian and non-Christian.

Miller’s insights and instruction is scriptural and important reminder of how Christ would have us love others.

Video Highlights [bracketed statements, emboldening and underscoring are mine]:

 

 

I learned via thousands of interactions with the juvenile offenders with whom I worked for over two decades, that my own never-revealed thoughts about them were somehow telegraphed via my words and body language. Such things seem to be what was being emphasized above.

That is, PRAYERS and kind / loving thoughts that give others the benefit of the doubt, would seemingly facilitate us in more graciously communicating with them and having our communications received….

I am grateful to have been reminded of that former realization which I did employ in my relationship building with those youth. I have had great difficulty extending to adult Christians that kind of charitable thinking. I guess that I have been expecting them to be more Christ-like with me as I struggle; not acknowledging that they also have their own struggles…, as stated by J R Miller above.

Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?”

James Russell Miller was born on March 20, 1840 at Frankfort Springs, Pennsylvania and died on July 2, 1912. Besides authoring over 80 books, booklets, and pamphlets, Dr. J.R. Miller was the Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and a very active pastor in a succession of churches.

The crucible of J.R. Miller’s education was his service with the United States Christian Commission, an agency set up to minister to the troops, during the civil war. When the war ended Miller completed his theological studies and was ordained and installed on September 11, 1867. On June 22, 1870, when he was thirty, he married Miss Louise E. King.

The end of life on earth came without warning on the afternoon of July 2, 1912. JR’s wife, Louise Miller, and their only daughter, Mary Wanamaker Miller (Mrs. W.B. Mount), were present, but it was impossible to summon the sons — William King Miller and Russell King Miller. One moment Dr. Miller seemed to be resting quietly; the next he was at rest.

JR Miller DD was one of the best selling Christian authors of his era. Rev. Miller’s books had a total circulation of over two million copies during his lifetime and in 1911 the Presbyterian Board of Publication, under his direction, published over 66 million copies of its periodicals.
