The Judge and the Critic

While it is surely true that God is the ultimate judge, I think that human beings have donned the mantle of the ultimate critic.

With the pure and Holy God of the cosmos, it is possible to confess our failures and experience immediate restoration into relationship with Him. But humans are possessed of some strange need to publically scrutinize the shortcomings of others.

Is there some other Accounts Payable ledger of which they are arbiters?

Through Jesus, I can please God.
But man is never satisfied.
