Episode140:Don't Judge Me

 

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭13:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Should we “judge” others

Judgement returns as you give

We make judgements, but we are not the final judge

 

Judgements we must make

Inspecting the fruitfulness of the church

Recognizing the spiritual condition of the church

Protecting the church from divisive or sinful behaviors

Determining the direction of the church

 

No outside of church

The lost already stand condemned

We hurt evangelism when we judge the lost for acting lost

We hurt God's heart when we judge who is receptive and who is not

 

Speak the truth in love  Eph 4:15

 

Don't only preach what's wrong, demonstrate what's right
