So goes the title of the new message series that starts at our church this morning. It will address topics such as when Christians are hypocritical, judgmental, too political, or out of touch, and how we can be more like the Christ-followers we’re supposed to be.
(Sheesh, I certainly hope there’s no Bo Williams Sunday in this series.)
Seriously, I’m very much looking forward to it, and suspect it may generate a blog post or two. I do struggle with what it means to be judgmental, and in case you haven’t noticed, I’m pretty terrible at being apolitical too.
I’m approaching this series quietly and humbly.

I don’t understand how someone can live in a free society and be too judgemental. (With a healthy dose of checking one’s own reflection occasionally, of course.) Surely Christ himself made strong calls every once in a while?
Kemtee, I hear ya. We can say “judge not,” but there are certain practical decisions we all make, thinking of the safety and/or security of our families and/or of ourselves, that are unambiguously judgmental.
