The Eikon team explores the differences between bounded and centered gospels, discussing the implications of church dynamics on inclusion and exclusion. They delve into the nature of bounded churches, the judgmentalism that can arise, and the importance of fostering a community that encourages exploration of faith. The discussion highlights the spectrum of church mentalities, the impact of exclusion on individual identity, and the need for a more inclusive approach that focuses on unity rather than uniformity. 00:00 Introduction to Bounded and Centered Set Gospels09:13 Exploring the Concept of Bounded vs. Centered Gospels19:09 Real-World Applications and Implications of Gospel Types29:15 Navigating Boundaries in Faith Communities31:42 Understanding Bounded vs. Centered Gospels36:47 The Nature of Bounded Churches40:33 The Role of Judgmentalism in Bounded Groups45:06 Exploring Inclusion and Exclusion48:33 Unity vs. Uniformity in Church Dynamics52:35 The Spectrum of Church Mentalities57:05 The Impact of Exclusion on Individual Identity01:01:39 Navigating Personal Beliefs in Church Contexts01:08:35 Looking Ahead: Centered Gospels

Jesus, Save us From Our Judgmentalism Luke 15:1-3;11-32Sunday, March 30, 2025 2022 Pastor Michelle Ashley
As you walk your journey of faith, beware the stumbling blocks of lack of understanding, pride, exclusivism, Judgmentalism, and idolatry.
“Let us be alert to the season in which we are living. It is the season of the Blessed Hope, calling for us to cut our ties with the world and build ourselves on this One who will soon appear. He is our hope—a Blessed Hope enabling us to rise above our times and fix our gaze upon Him.” A.W. Tozer This podcast is also a blog post at https://timehrhardt.com/
Over 20% of the Gospel of Matthew deals with the Pharisees. Is this so that we can use them as our 'whipping posts' to illustrate all the bad things religious people can do? Or, did God have those verses included because we are more like the Pharisees than we realize? I believe the latter is the case.In this message, I share my own "pharisaical tendencies".I begin with a play off of Tim Hawkin's, "You might be a Redneck if..."My version - I might be a Pharisee if...…IF I AM THE SELF-APPOINTED CORRECTOR OF EVERYONE ELSE'S DOCTRINEIF I THINK THAT THE "SPEAK THE TRUTH" PART OF "SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE" IS THE "KEY" TO THAT VERSE… …IF ONE OF MY FAVORITE VERSES IS "THE SPIRITUAL MAN JUDGES ALL THINGS" (1 Cor. 2:15)IF PRAYING THE IMPRECATORY PSALMS MAKES ME OUTRAGEOUSLY HAPPY……IF I THINK THE “GIFT OF DISCERNMENT” MEANS KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG IN EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIFE IF I AM SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE WHO REALLY NEEDS TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE…
People don't like judgmental Christians. Jesus doesn't either. He makes the case that if we can lay aside unrighteous judgmentalism, we can then take up the mantle and walk in the Golden Rule, for God's glory.
The Right Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton, senior pastor of the Chautauqua Institution, delivers a compelling sermon titled "Here Comes the Judge!" Reflecting on Numbers 11:4-29 and Mark 9:38-50, Bishop Sutton confronts the age-old tension between judgment and discernment within the Christian faith. "Judgmentalism is a social sin: it is the habit of constantly finding fault with what others say and do." In this message, he calls us to seek understanding with humility and love, urging us to discern as God discerns.

Pastor Rob talks about the difference between accountability and judgmentalism.
David Forsyth examines James 4:11-17, addressing two common marks of arrogance: judgmentalism and self-confidence. Overcoming arrogance requires recognizing our tendency to speak against others and presume upon the future. Forsyth emphasizes humility, submission to God's law, and acknowledgment of our frailty. The sermon challenges believers to examine their speech and planning, urging them to live with a deep dependence on Christ's providential rule. ★ Support this podcast ★

Have you ever felt judged, misunderstood, and written off? When you meet new people, do you fear they are evaluating you with a mental checklist, focusing on outward appearance and stereotypical labels? Has someone questioned your character just because you disagree with them? This happens to all of us, and it hurts. But the good news is that God sees us in a different way, and God calls us to do the same for others. Check out this message to see how.

Father Len exposes the scam of judgmentalism and reveals the value of critical and objective judgment of our own attitudes and behaviors. Support Wrestling with God Productions: https://www.GiveSendGo.com/WWGProductions Highlights, Ideas, and Wisdom People are often harsh on other people for the very sins that they themselves commit. “In 33 years of priesthood, I've observed that those who love to condemn and love to be judgmental really are the worst sinners. The reason they are so judgmental is really a scam. It's a shtick of misdirection to get a whole group of people to condemn others and to portray themselves as good and rigidly moral in hopes nobody examines them and discovers their sins.” – Father Len We welcome your questions and comments: Email: irish@wwgproductions.org Text or voicemail: 208-391-3738 Links to More Podcasts from Wrestling with God Productions Life Lessons from Jesus and the Church He Founded: http://LifeLessonsfromJesus.org A Priest's Life: https://idahovocations.com/resources/video-podcasts/

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss how in the U.S., people are still somewhat “turned on” to God (and specifically to Jesus) but very turned off to religion, pastors and even just your average self-identified Christian. They're saying, “Maybe” to Christ, but, “Absolutely not” to Christianity and Christians. And when you see what's happening in culture, it's not difficult to understand why. Because the Christian faith is often perceived as anything but Christlike, we, as the Church, need to have an answer. Episode Links If you've been tracking with the Church & Culture Podcast, several of our earlier episodes shine a glaring light on the reasons many draw their conclusions about the Christian faith. CCP94: On the Growing Lack of Confidence in Clergy discussed how American culture at large is losing trust in Christian pastors. CCP96: On “He Gets Us” examined the popularity of an ad campaign focusing on the love and compassion of Jesus that is sparking anger in some Christians. CCP32: On a Non-Christian America tackled the continued rise of the “nones” – those who refuse to identify with any particular religion, but who aren't opposed to believing in God. And finally CCP4: On Pastors and Moral Failings took a hard look at the many high-profile religious leaders who have been in the news recently for immoral and sometimes illegal acts. Grace was a theme woven throughout this discussion as it's what's so often missing from those unChristian Christians. Dr. White has given two series at Mecklenburg Community Church on grace: Christianity's Most Scandalous Idea and Getting Grace Right. And another series that we would recommend you listen to is The Deconstruction Zone which explored how many in our day are deconstructing their faith, raising questions, and exploring challenges to how they were raised or beliefs they have long held. Finally, Dr. White mentioned a couple of books related to today's conversation that you may be interested in checking out: Grace Awakening written by Chuck Swindoll and unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity…and Why It Matters written by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons.

The scripture reference in "Judgmentalism" is Matthew 7:1-5.
As we continue our Lenten series exploring the different kinds of temptations the church faces, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve take a look at the powerful temptation to become judgmental. In the pursuit of holiness, we can end up being "holier-than-thou." In the pursuit of righteousness, we soemtimes fall prey to being self-righteous. And in the name of holding one another accountable, we can end up being judgmental jerks. How do we guide, correct, and encourage one another with grace while avoiding the easy temptation to condemn anyone who thinks or acts differently from our personal convinctions or scruples? And how do we discern the places we need to speak up or speak out against the things that run counter to the way of Jesus? These are the kinds of questions we're raising in this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk!
In our text this morning from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses judgment and judgmentalism. What's the difference and why does it matter?
Offense is a trap that keeps us from enjoying our own lives. Learn how to resist offense quickly and thoroughly with help from God's Word!
Judgmentalism – or tolerance – may be the way of your world, but it isn't God's way to handle Kingdom relationships.James 4:11-12
It's incredibly easy to assess and dismiss people for relatively arbitrary reasons - looks, politics, theology, clothes...you name it, we will probably judge people for it. This, of course, leads to the division, chaos and disarray that we see in the world. Jesus shows us a better way.
God is so committed to making peace that he will lovingly and directly confront our biases and prejudices. Because there is room for everyone in New Creation, there is no room for judgmentalism. We are invited to reckon with our assumptions around who's bad and who's good, who's in and who's out. All are subject to the kindness of God. Let that kindness lead you to repentance so that you can stand up for those who are judged unfairly for who they are. This is what God does for us in Jesus his son. Preached by Jay Francoeur.
In this podcast, Pastor Chris Maxwell takes us on a transformative journey to uncover the profound truths behind what truly stops the flow of the spirit.

From the crushing weight of unbelief to the corrosive grip of hatred, each point unpacks a unique facet of our human experience and how it impacts our spiritual connection. Listen as we dissect the root causes of these barriers, examining how disobedience, fear, jealousy, and a host of other emotions can create an insurmountable obstacle within our souls. Through engaging storytelling, personal anecdotes, and biblical insights, Pastor Chris Maxwell offers practical guidance on how to dismantle these barriers and restore the unimpeded flow of the spirit in your life.

In this episode, Mark Baker talks about Paul's letter to the Galatians.

Welcome to episode eighty-six of New Creation Conversations. In today's conversation I'm excited to be re-joined by Dr. Mark Baker. Mark is Professor of Mission and Theology at Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary. Mark is an alum of Wheaton University, has a master's degree from the New College for Advanced Christian Studies (Berkely) and a PhD in Theology and Ethics from Duke. Mark has written extensively in theology and ethics, but the primary focus of our conversation is his most recent book Freedom from Religiosity and Judgmentalism: Studies in Paul's Letter to the Galatians – part of the Luminaire Studies Series published by Kindred. I had a conversation with Mark a few months ago about his book Centered-Set Church: Discipleship and Community Without Judgmentalism, his new book applies some of those insights into reading Galatians, and the result is a really thoughtful and fresh reading of that great Epistle. It's a great book and a rich conversation.
