If worrying is one of our favourite sins, then judging must be one of our favourite pastimes. While worry often reflects a lack of trust in God, judging often reflects a lack of love and acceptance of others.

In his last sermon on Matthew 6:25–34, Pastor Chuck Swindoll walked us through Jesus’ teaching to help us fight anxiety. Now, preaching on Matthew 7:1–5, he directs our attention to Jesus’ teaching on judging to help us rid ourselves of a biting, critical spirit so we can truly restore others in a spirit of love and acceptance.
