1. Book Reference
One of the reasons we might agree with that statement is we don’t want to be judgmental.
We know what it's like.
church experience: divorce; pregnant out of wedlock; strange looks because of appearance; small box; exclusion
Look down upon someone because of their sin.
The holier than thou attitude.
We’ve all been the victim of that attitude..
It hurts.
It makes us made.
eDon’t judge; don’t condemn; forgive;
Don’t look down upon someone because of their sin.
The holier than thou attitude.
We’ve all been the victim of that attitude..
It hurts.
It makes us made.
Don’t think it doesn’t happen here; we never do this; Jesus wouldn’t warn us against things that could never happen at HUMC.
The abusive relative.
The vindictive neighbor.
That person in the church....hmmm.
We somehow have to love them, while hating what they’ve done.
But if we’re not careful, we can swing to the other extreme.
“I don’t judge.”
Should we ever judge?

“I don’t judge.”
Should we ever judge?
Jesus said don’t do this.
Instead, don’t judge.
Don’t condemn.
Forgive, like you’ve been forgiven.
Jesus said don’t do this.
Instead, don’t judge.
Don’t condemn.
Forgive, like you’ve been forgiven.
If this phrase is true, then we are to love the person who is fallen into sin, but at the same time hate their sin.
When I was reading the book and writing the sermon, I thought of the phrase, “I don’t judge.”
Or, “We shouldn’t judge.”
I think that falls in the same camp as “love the sinner, hate the sin.”

I think that falls in the same camp as “love the sinner, hate the sin.”
We may hate the sin, or disapprove of the sin, but we sometimes say, “I’m not supposed to judge.”
“Only God can judge.”
We may hate the sin, or disapprove of the sin, but we sometimes say, “I’m not supposed to judge.”
“Only God can judge.”
There’s a problem with that.
Often what that means is that we’re not going to say anything.
We’re not going to criticize.
Or, we’re going to speak our peace, and let it go.
Should we never Judge?
Is making a judgment ever right?
YES not optional; must understand what it is and how to do it.
Alternative: Watch a person self destruct.
Watch them embarrass themselves.
Make a mockery of the faith.
(e.g.
fly down; disrespect me by watching me fail again and again) I won’t like it - if you do it out of love, I can and should accept it.
Is judgment ever right?
The Bible is full of examples of dealing directly with sin.
Jesus says to go to the person who has offended us before going to church.
Jesus says we go to the person who sinned.
If he doesn’t listen, take another person.
Paul says the same thing - we confront the sinner.
We identify sin as sin, and we approach the person.
Feeling uncomfortable?
How can that be a good thing?
Jesus is not saying that we should never make a judgment.
He’s pointing how we can get this very wrong.
How do we get this right?
(2 extremes)
How do we do this in a way that shows that we love the sinner?
Do it in a way that brings blessing.
Brings joy.
Brings deeper fellowship.

Make a mockery of the faith.
(e.g.

When it is wrong?
Reasons why we judge improperly?
Cause damage, brokenness.
Push people away.
