Sermon: Judge Not Lest You Be Judged

About this sermon

We live in a culture that doesn't like it's sin pointed out. And in response, we've all heard post-moderns say, "Don't judge me, lest you be judged!" But does this verse really mean that we shouldn't judge? Paul Washer, in one of my favorite quotes, said, “People tell me judge not lest ye be judged. I always tell them, twist not scripture lest ye be like Satan.” I'm really excited to dig into this verse this afternoon and hopefully debunk some common misconceptions. I'm also going to talk about modern day Pharisaism and guarding the Gospel. I hope and pray that God uses me to bless and encourage you with the Word. Soli Deo Gloria, Luke Pierson Verse: 7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. Matthew 7:1-6 Soul Food: “There is a sense in which we are not to judge men; but there is another sense in which he would be an arrant fool who did not constantly exercise his judgment upon men.” - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
