Decisions about discipline, marriage, work, law enforcement, hiring and firing, planning, etc., must never be made rashly, fearfully, or emotionally, and certainly never based upon a skewed agenda, limited review of facts, one side of the story, a grudge, or popularity.

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you” (Matt. 7:1–2).

“Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment” (John 7:24).

“And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth” (Isa. 11:3–4).

Too many Christians want to hold others to such standards, but not impose them on themselves. But this is self-government under God 101. Pray and work toward this standard in your life today—especially in those areas in which quick judgments would alleviate some annoyance or embarrassment for you. We want to sweep such things under the carpet, but the dirt remains, and will only come back to soil us. Suspend judgment and be thorough. It’s manlier and more faithful to God.
