Judging (Part 1)

The Life and Teachings of Christ
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

In this discussion, Steve Gregg examines the topic of judging in Matthew chapter 7. While some may interpret the chapter to mean that God is a tolerant figure who overlooks sin, Gregg argues that there is a place for making judgments in the Christian faith. He cites various passages in the New Testament that advocate for making judgments, particularly when it comes to one's own actions and the actions of others in the church. However, he also notes the importance of testing prophetic utterances and using discernment in one's judgments.
