- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. This week we've been looking at the issue that comes up constantly for Christians is when non -believers will tell us, you should not judge.
- 00:22
- In fact, we hear this often. And the issue is, is that many people want to believe that we are not allowed to judge other people.
- 00:31
- Now we've already looked at this this week and seen that we are actually commanded to judge by the command of Jesus Christ.
- 00:38
- But the thing is, is that when we have people that tell us that we shouldn't judge others, typically what we find is that they don't want us to judge them.

- So we are commanded to judge, and we should judge those in the church according to Scripture.
- 01:50
- So please judge rightly. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry. For more content, or to request a speaker or seminar to your church, go to strivingforeternity .org.
