Jesus says, “Judge not.”  But that’s easier said than done.  The urge to judge others severely is so strong it often feels overwhelming.  It’s hard to stop even when it poisons our soul.  This Sunday we’ll explore several spiritual principles that can help us to finally lay down the heavy burden of judging others.
