Summary
Christians are cautioned not to condemn others by their judgment, yet the Bible is clear that we should be discerning and live wisely. So how can believers know which approach God wants us to take? In this message, Nate Heitzig looks to James 4:11-12 to discover how we can replace condemnation with compassionate evaluation and discernment.
I. Stop Condemning
II. Start Considering
A. Consider Others
B. Consider God
C. Consider Yourself
Talk with God: Ask the Lord to fill your heart with grace and forgiveness so that you “do not speak evil of one another” (v. 11).
Talk with others: Ask a mentor or trusted believer to point out areas of bitterness, judgment, or unforgiveness in your life.
Talk with kids: What does it look like to have the same attitude as Jesus?
