In this week’s episode of Walking by Faith, Rev. Mark Hawks of Crossroads Ministries explores one of the most misunderstood questions in the Christian walk: “Is it wrong to judge?”

Drawing from Isaiah 61 (KJV) and St. Luke 4:18 (KJV)—the powerful passages Jesus read as He declared His anointing—Rev. Hawks explains how believers are called not to condemn, but to discern.

The same Spirit that anointed Christ to preach good news, heal the brokenhearted, and set the captives free also equips us to recognize truth from error, righteousness from unrighteousness, and good fruit from bad.

In a world that often says, “Don’t judge me,” this message brings biblical clarity:
What does Jesus actually teach about judging?
What is the difference between discernment and condemnation?
How does the anointing help believers navigate the world with wisdom, grace, and truth?

Be encouraged and strengthened as you walk by faith, empowered by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit.
