This issue about judging people, especially carnal christians, is really confusing. I get that we shouldn't 'condemn' people WHEN they come to Christ. Because they are new, they are learning, the Holy Spirit is working on them. So how do you handle a moment of weakness? Do you ignore them or do you correct them? Eg. someone comes to church dressed like a prostitute, do you just let them do that because we shouldn't judge and allow her to tempt people? How do you confront someone who is disrespectful? How do you handle someone who is always lying, even in church? How do you handle someone who smokes? Are we suppose to act like it doesn't affect us? What do we do IF WE SAY judging is wrong?
Let's correct each other but with LOVE!! We need to ask the Holy Spirit on tact and wisdom before we rush to correcting others. The "HOW" the correction is delivered will determine if it's received with offense or the person see's an opportunity to reflect and repent.
Shuuu i bless God for this message as i am observing gaps i have created in my own church…. the Church is indeed Family and we must grow within it.
