Using Discernment in Judging

  • God’s truth is standard...not our opinion.

  • Examine yourself...practice a spirit of humility and cast of an attitude of criticism.

  • Repent of your own sin before confronting others.

  • Confront others in a spirit of wanting to see them grow in godliness, not conform to you.

  • Use discernment in who you confront, and after you’ve exhausted all options, know when to walk away.
