It saddens me when I see people whom I have admired walk away from their faith because they feel like others in that faith are too judgmental, harsh or dismissive of those who have fallen short or who are perceived by some as “sinners.” I have never considered my faith to be about the people […]
We hear a lot of people accusing others of being “judgmental” these days. If you don’t agree with someone’s choices, way of life, or behavior, it’s considered politically incorrect to say so. You might offend them. If you don’t feel comfortable watching entertainment with certain activities going on in it, you’re considered judgmental. Let’s look […]
