Should We Judge ?

Very logical and well presented. I usually try to gain the confidence of those whom I rebuke, though, because they might not be as receptive of the rebuke, otherwise. Also, I try to find out all the facts as to what the other person is really doing before passing judgement upon them. Sometimes people look guilty of something without my knowing if they're truly guilty. So it's a tricky thing to accomplish. I also usually pray before rebuking someone. I don't know usually know their motives and certainly not their hearts. When I DO know they know better to do what they're doing, I have less of a problem rebuking them. I've gotten into trouble for rebuking others in the past. They often try to lay guilt trips on me when I do. So it's a real challenge to rebuke others effectively and correctly. This is a very worthwhile topic. Thank you for trying to make it so easy to understand.
