1. “Don’t judge me!”
Genesis 19:6-9
Genesis 13:13

2. “Don’t judge me!”
Do not want to be reminded they are doing something wrong
Being reminded of one’s responsibilities toward God
One’s life comes under needed scrutiny
One’s arguments & justifications are not standing up under close examination
When trying to conceal the real reasons or motivations for their behavior

6. Christians & Judging? Surprised at Accusation: Romans 12:2
Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged…”
Many judgments by Jesus –
Lust (5:28), anger (5:22), adultery (5:27), divorce in absence of sexual immorality (5:32), false oaths (5:33), hypocrisy (6:1-5), not laying up treasure on earth (6:20), & loving wealth (6:24).

7. Christians & Judging?
Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged…”
Judgment condemned is Hypocritical (7:4)
Get rid of “log” to help person with “speck” in their eye.
People with smaller problems still need to correct those problems.

8. Teach/ Helping those who will not appreciate your help
Matthew 7:6 NKJV 6 "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”
