Episode 41 - Judge Not - Part 1

Or listen here:
We live in a simultaneously nonjudgmental totally judgy society. We’re told that it’s wrong to judge others. But, it’s not that anyone has the freedom to live however they want. We are also told what is good, often through virtue signaling, and then, ironically, we judge anyone who crosses the line in the least amount.I think we’ve lost the distinction between judging and tolerating and are now compelled to affirm even if we don’t agree or we will be judged. As Christians, how do we interact in a world that judges the very Word by which it will be judged?
