Often if we make a statement judging a situation someone will make a statement like "judge not or you will be judged" based on Matthew 7:1. But does that verse mean we are NEVER to judge anything? In this sermon Mr. Smith shows several verses in the Bible where we are commanded to make judgements. He shows that there are different kinds of judgment addressed in these different verses and finishes with the kind of judgment spoken of in Matthew 7 that we are not to make.
