The Big Idea: God will judge you the way you judge others.

Matthew 7:1-5 (p. 832)

The message of Jesus is clear: “Whatever you do, don’t JUDGE people!”

Judgmentalism is the practice of personal CONDEMNATION.

We Are Judgmental When We:

  • Assume the worst construction of their MOTIVES.
  • Pour cold water on their DREAMS
  • Are ungenerous toward their MISTAKES

The opposite of judgmentalism is not apathy, but the practice of GRACE and TRUTH.

  • John 1:14; 16-17 (p. 911)
  • John 8:1-11 (p. 919)

The key is not to discern their MOTIVES- but yours.

At ECC, no more games of HIDE and SEEK.
