Today we are going to look at Matthew 7:1. This is an often used verse when confronted with our sin or used against us when we are pointing out sin. "You can't judge me!" becomes the mantra of today and branded as if it is actually what Jesus had to say about judging. He wanted Christians to be aware of how they were calling out sin. Don't do it with a judgmental spirit, this would be hypocritical. So how do we judge correctly? Jesus says there is a log in our eye, so we should ask God to see our own faults and sin so that we don't come to others as we are better, but instead to build up and encourage. 

When have you seen this verse used in a negative way? How can we be better stewards of this verse?
