10.23.22 SOTM (wk16) Judging Makes Us Blind - a podcast by George Stull

Matthew 7:1-5 says, “Do not judge…” What does Jesus mean by that? Is it ever right to call out something wrong in another? Ultimately, Jesus gives us a big generous gift of truth-telling with love for us to practice here.

We'd love for you to join us in person at one of our Sunday gatherings--10a at Gower Elementary. You can visit us online at vuechurch.org

SLIDES/QUOTES George read in our gathering:

“Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are. The Word of God is so weak that it suffers to be despised and rejected by people. The Word accepts the resistance it encounters and bears it.”

― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

"Perhaps the greatest blessing that religious inheritance can bestow is an open mind, one that can listen without judging. Such people do not have a closed-off air or a boastful demeanor. In them, it is clear, their wounds have opened the way to compassion for others. And compassion is the strength and soul of religion."

— Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith, Kathleen Norris
