To Judge Or Not To Judge - That Is The Question

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 23, 2016

One of the most popular verse fragments recited by unbelievers or folks who claim to be believers but who are living in sin is, "Judge not, lest you be judged." Holy proof-texting! What does this teaching really mean to those who are called to be holy?

Love, love, love. The world is infatuated with love! We who are called to be Christ's ambassadors need to be able to differentiate between what the world calls love and what the Bible describes as Christ-like love. Proper judgment is an integral part of Christ's love. What is love? (show video ...read more

Judging

Contributed by Stephen Carroll on May 1, 2006

Judge Not

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 16, 2013

What's the difference between an appraisal and a judgment? If the devil can't destroy us by making us apathetic, he'll try to do it by making us judgmental.

It’s hard to talk about judging others without sounding judgmental! “Judge not lest ye be judged” is one of the most quoted and misunderstood verses in the Bible. People who never open a Bible, people who are biblically illiterate, still know this statement, and readily use ...read more
