“God is the ultimate judge”

Why do we worry so much about the opinions of others? If God is the judge, then none of the finite opinions floating around us matter. Our job is to please God not humanity. In his last words, Jerry Martin wanted everyone to know that he feared God more than the judgments of humanity. Do you?

I invite pray the last words of Jerry Martin:

“God is the ultimate judge”

Amen.
