Judging Actions vs Hearts
- Jesus' command "Do not judge" does not mean we can't discern right from wrong.
- Christians must assess actions but not condemn hearts because only God knows hearts.

- First assess your own behavior before judging others, following Jesus' teaching on the beam and splinter.
- Approach others' wrong behavior with curiosity and ask "What's really going on?" before condemning.

- Care enough to be curious and ask questions if their behavior seems wrong or hurtful.
