Avoiding A Judging Scandal

Every four years the Olympics take place. And every four years, new controversies erupt over the judging of those events. Of course, judging is necessary in an athletic competition. And there are times when judging is necessary in our lives as Christians. But, it's also important to avoid our own judging scandal. Thankfully, what Jesus is warning against here in Luke with these words, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged,” is explained by our Savior Himself in the very next sentence He spoke in this verse.
