Intro: Greatest problem is a moral issue.
Part of Sermon On The Mount: "logs, hogs and dogs"
I. The Christian is not to be judgmental, Matthew 7:1-2. Is one verse quoted out of context. We are to be critical in one’s thinking- 2 Peter 2:1, 2 Peter 2:18-22, John 7:24, 1 John 4:1, Matthew 7:15, Luke 6:36-37, John 5:22, and Romans 14:4.
II. The Christian is not to be hypocritical, Matthew 7:3-5 the first two words of verse 5. Illustration from carpentry shop. The hypocritical tend to be hypercritical, Romans 2:1.
III. The Christian is to be a brother, Matthew 7:5.
When you encounter a sinner: don’t write him off - try to restore him, Galatians 6:1.
BUT make sure your own vision is clear, Matthew 7:1. and 1 Corinthians 4:4-5.
Personal:
I. Let Scripture interpret Scripture.
II. Jesus wants us to change.
III. Examine my own Spiritual motivation before making a judgment on anyone.
