When "Judge Not" Hurts People

from Hold Fast Hosted by Kenny Roberts

I had planned to talk about legalism this week—but two major stories changed that. In this episode, we take a hard look at one of the most misused verses in the Bible: “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). Did Jesus really mean we should never judge? Or have we misunderstood Him? By walking through Scripture and examining two real-life situations, we’ll see the difference between wrong judgment that condemns and right judgment that protects, warns, and restores. When the Church avoids making right judgments, the consequences can be serious—not just for individuals, but for the whole body. This episode is a call to recover biblical discernment: humbly examining ourselves, rightly assessing fruit, and speaking the truth in love for the good of others and the glory of God.
