Should Christians Be Judgmental?
In his latest sermon, Pastor Rick explored Jesus’s teaching on judgment from Matthew 7, explaining the delicate balance between judging appropriately and being judgmental. He clarified that Jesus wasn’t prohibiting all forms of judgment but rather cautioning against self-appointed judgment like that of the Pharisees. Pastor Rick emphasized that “the judgment we use to judge others is the standard that will be used for us,” and warned against criticizing others for faults we ourselves possess. He stressed that judgment should remain within the faith community rather than being directed at non-believers, and highlighted the importance of self-examination, particularly during the Lord’s Supper.
