Thinking Clearly About Judging Others

For years I've been looking for helpful instruction about making judgments, ever since a homosexual rights advocate loudly lectured me on a plane, shouting, "You can't judge me! It says in your Bible you can't judge me." (He was referring to Matthew 7:1-5.)

But we are commanded to make some judgments (e.g., to discern between good and evil). Jesus only condemned hypocritical judging in Matthew 7:1-5.

So I recommend Greg Koukl's nice article about all this, "The Scoop on Judging." He does a great job outlining different kinds of judgments and pointing us to Scripture.
