The Respected Sin of Judgmentalism

Hey Guys,
Soon enough we are going to start to deal with our individual respectable sins as we study the book Respectable Sins: Confronting The Sins We Tolerate. One of those sins many of us will be confronted about is being judgmental.

I just found an excellent article you should all check out on sin of being judgmental by a guy named Ken Sande.

In case you dont know who he is, Ken Sande wrote a book called "The Peacemaker" about interpersonal conflict that is quite simply the best book on the subject. John Piper endorsed the book by saying "I know of no living writer who is a more reliable guide for peacemaking in church and family than Ken Sande". CJ Mahaney, another well known pastor, said "There is no need for another book on this topic to be written now that this volume exists".

Those are some pretty amazing endorsements, so you should read The Peacemaker obviously. Personally, this book may have been one of the most helpful books I have ever read in learning how to live as a Christian. But I also wanted to post this article by Sande for you to check out, since most of you won't just start reading that book immediately. We all need help in knowing how we grow mature as Christians who can think critically, but who are not judgmental. This article should help us grow in maturity as Christians.
