The More Religious You Become, The More Judgmental You May Be | Ed Lapiz

About this sermon

Can becoming more religious actually make you more judgmental? In this challenging message, Ed Lapiz examines one of Jesus’ clearest teachings: “Do not judge.” Through Luke 6, Matthew 7, John 8, and other biblical passages, he explains the danger of self-righteousness, legalism, comparison, and imposing our personal moral standards on others. Jesus welcomed people whom religious society rejected. Instead of obsessively labeling everyone right or wrong, believers are called to show mercy, understand context, respect others, and follow the example of Christ. Ed Lapiz also turns the message inward: stop judging yourself so harshly. Constant comparison, unrealistic standards, guilt, and self-condemnation can rob you of freedom and peace. Follow Jesus, extend grace to others, receive God’s grace for yourself, and become less judgmental one step at a time. #EdLapiz #DoNotJudge #ChristianLiving #Grace #JesusChrist 🎯 THUMBNAIL TEXT
