I get so tired of the lie, repeated whenever someone wants to avoid the hard work of living by their convictions – or even having convictions – that we must not judge.

Where does Scripture make a blanket prohibition on judging?

It doesn’t.

Rather, it says to not judge with hypocrisy.

But we are, in fact, to judge with discernment.

So let’s not distort Scripture by surrendering Scripture to our own insecurities …

Because when we fail to discern good and evil, we become complicit with darkness.
