New Life Downtown

In a culture that resists critique and evaluation, we tend to think that Jesus warned against judging others because no concrete judgment is possible; everything is subjective opinion. But Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see that judgment, though possible, is simply not our place. By detailing what, who, and when we can't judge, we see the difference between judging, discerning, and evaluating. Yet there is a judge who knows all, is over all, and is just enough to judge. But this judge became the guilty one so that the verdict over us is stunningly gracious.
