JUDGMENT vs. JUDGMENTAL — What Did Jesus Really Teach? “Don’t judge me!” “Only God can judge me. He knows my heart.” “We listen, and we don’t judge…” These phrases are common—but does the Bible actually teach Christians never to judge? In this message, Paztuh Mike breaks down the important difference between judgment and being judgmental. Oxford Dictionary defines judgment as forming an opinion after carefully considering the facts, while being judgmental can mean judging people and criticizing them too quickly. But what does the Bible say about it? Jesus said, “Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.” — John 7:24 (NLT) Scripture also teaches us to examine ourselves, remove the plank from our own eye, and then help our brother with the speck in his eye (Matthew 7:1–5). The Apostle Paul teaches that believers are responsible for making certain judgments within the church (1 Corinthians 5:12–13), while also warning us not to condemn others hypocritically. So the question isn’t simply, “Should Christians judge?” The better question is: “How should Christians judge?” Am I judging by appearances, assumptions, emotions, and personal opinions—or by God’s truth? Can I receive loving correction without becoming defensive? Can I speak truth with humility, grace, and love? And am I trying to restore someone—or simply condemn them? Join Paztuh Mike as he takes a biblical look at Judgment vs. Judgmental and challenges us to stop confusing righteous discernment with a critical, condemning spirit. Watch now, and let’s learn how to judge correctly, love people genuinely, and walk in God’s truth. 📖 Key Scriptures: John 7:24 Matthew 7:1–5 1 Corinthians 5:12–13 Galatians 6:1 John 8:15–16 James 2:1–4 ✅ Full Judgment VS Judgmental Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB34bqY6kYo Rock Church Soulard Info ❤️ GIVE HERE: https://www.rockchurchsoulard.com/give ✋ SERVE HERE: https://www.rockchurchsoulard.com/serve 📞 Phone: 314-804-1338 📍 2420 S. 12th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104 Paztuh Mike Info 🎤 Booking Paztuh Mike : https://paztuhmike.com/booking/ 📫 Last Day Records PO Box 39459 St. Louis, MO 63139 Booking & Press Requests 📞 314-310-0864 booking@paztuhmike.com #JudgmentVsJudgmental #PaztuhMike #BiblicalJudgment #Christianity #BibleStudy #Discernment #Jesus #Church #ChristianLiving

Whatever you do, don’t ask God for patience! “Oh boy, I made a mistake one time and prayed for patience!” Do these comments sound familiar? As believers, we often joke about patience as though it’s something to avoid. But what if longsuffering is not something to fear? What if it is an important part of becoming more like Christ? “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness…” —Galatians 5:22, NKJV In Lesson 5 of the Kingdom Surrender series, Paztuh Mike explores why longsuffering should not be an avoided subject. Instead, we should understand what it means, why it matters, and how God wants to develop it in our hearts and minds. Jesus, our Savior, suffered for us long before He went to the cross. As His followers, we are also called to share in His sufferings. This probably doesn’t mean being crucified. So how do we share in Christ’s sufferings? What does longsuffering have to do with our daily obedience? And why might the very thing we try to avoid be necessary for our spiritual growth? ✅ Full Sermon Series Here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNP6NOixvRQRV44Cbi09FIiJgxFg4qg4t&si=m613N4BcbdxQTV4H Rock Church Soulard Info ❤️ GIVE HERE: https://www.rockchurchsoulard.com/give ✋ SERVE HERE: https://www.rockchurchsoulard.com/serve 📞 Phone: 314-804-1338 📍 2420 S. 12th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104 Paztuh Mike Info 🎤 Booking Paztuh Mike : https://paztuhmike.com/booking/ 📫 Last Day Records PO Box 39459 St. Louis, MO 63139 Booking & Press Requests 📞 314-310-0864 booking@paztuhmike.com #longsuffering #Kingdom #bible #surrender #suffering #paztuhmike

“Is accountability the same thing as control?” “My pastor is supposed to love me, not judge me. Right?” “Besides, my spiritual leaders don’t really know me like that. They have no right to critique my life choices. Jesus knows my heart.” These thoughts may sound familiar, but they raise an important question: What does biblical accountability actually look like? Accountability is not control. Control manipulates and dominates, but biblical accountability lovingly points us back to God’s Word and encourages spiritual growth within the Body of Christ. In Lesson 4 of the Kingdom Surrender series, Paztuh Mike explores the biblical foundation and practical reality of accountability in the Church. The secular world recognizes the value of accountability through leadership programs, self-help seminars, and personal-development resources. Yet when we enter the Church, we can sometimes resist the very principle we embrace elsewhere. If we profess to follow Jesus, we should be willing to receive loving, Scripture-based correction from healthy church leadership and trusted members of the Body of Christ. This does not mean surrendering our conscience, tolerating abuse, or following anyone blindly. It means allowing a godly community to help us remain faithful to God’s Word. The Apostle Paul writes: “Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.” —1 Thessalonians 5:12–13, NLT Jesus also warned against calling Him Lord while refusing to follow His instructions: “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?” —Luke 6:46, NLT True repentance is more than saying “I’m sorry.” It involves turning back to God and allowing Him to transform the way we live. Spiritual growth was never meant to happen in isolation. God uses a healthy Christian community to encourage, challenge, and strengthen us. Are you willing to be accountable to God’s Word, even when it challenges you? Are you willing to receive loving, biblical correction from mature believers? Are you willing to surrender to healthy church leadership where God has planted you? And if accountability is difficult for you, are you willing to ask God to prepare your heart? ✅ Full Sermon Series Here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNP6NOixvRQRV44Cbi09FIiJgxFg4qg4t&si=m613N4BcbdxQTV4H Rock Church Soulard Info ❤️ GIVE HERE: https://www.rockchurchsoulard.com/give ✋ SERVE HERE: https://www.rockchurchsoulard.com/serve 📞 Phone: 314-804-1338 📍 2420 S. 12th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104 Paztuh Mike Info 🎤 Booking Paztuh Mike : https://paztuhmike.com/booking/ 📫 Last Day Records PO Box 39459 St. Louis, MO 63139 Booking & Press Requests 📞 314-310-0864 booking@paztuhmike.com #Accountability #pastors #bible #surrender #kingdom #paztuhmike
