“Aren’t we all sinners? What gives us the right to make moral judgements about someone else? Isn’t that God’s job?”

Judging (What to Avoid)
Rash assumptions — John 7:24
Matters of insignificance — Matthew 23:23–24
Superiority
Being hypercritical — Anti-1 Corinthians 13:4–7
Being hypocritical — Romans 2:1
Judging another’s salvation — Acts 10:42

Jesus' Warning

“We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions.”
Steven Covey

Fasting here is not a diet regimen.
Fasting is a denial of something you enjoy
to make more space to enjoy God.
