Inexcusable: The Mirror of Judgment

Before you point out the speck in someone's eye, check the log in your own. This Sunday we wrestled with one of the most misunderstood truths in Scripture: Biblical judgment.

God's Word is clear—we have no authority to condemn others when we struggle with the same sins. David was ready to execute a man for stealing a lamb while he had committed adultery and murder. Sound familiar? We get fired up about sins in others that we justify in ourselves.

Here's the truth: The sins that anger you most in others are often the ones taking root in your own heart. That character flaw that drives you crazy? Check your mirror.

But there's hope. God's patience isn't approval of sin—it's His mercy giving us time to repent. His goodness leads us to repentance, not condemnation.

The question isn't whether we'll sin or judge wrongly. The question is: What will we do when God convicts us? Will we confess and repent, or harden our hearts?

And here's where it gets personal: If the person who hurt you most got saved tomorrow, would you rejoice? If not, you despise the very mercy that saved you.

Forgive as you've been forgiven. Love as you've been loved. Judge fruit, not hearts—that's God's job alone.

What will you do with this truth today?
