ASK VAL

Are we supposed to tell people when they are doing something wrong? Or should we never judge anyone, according to Matthew 6:37?

The Bible does caution us not to set ourselves up as judge, jury, or executioner! We must compare Scripture with Scripture to understand the will of God. 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 puts that into perspective. We are “our brother’s keeper” – James 5:19-20. There is a vast difference between a judgemental, critical attitude and genuine love. Let all that you do be done in love.
