While you probably think of a courtroom and a black robe when you think of judgment, if you can transport your thinking to a county fair or the cooking channel, you might start thinking of someone sitting down to test and rate a dish - a judge of whether or not something is good, tasteful, and of a certain quality. God encourages this - not with food, but as you experience the world, different messages, and even God himself. God urges you to honestly "taste-test" things and determine whether they are good or bad.

The good news? This word is used just as powerfully to remind us that we are unconditionally loved by that judge as it is to show us we're condemned.

Are we using judgment the same way?
