Hook: What is the culture's favorite Bible verse?

I. BE JUDGING BUT NOT JUDGY
"Our great concern is with ourselves." - Jonathan Edwards

II. BEAM RESEARCH
"We have a rosy view of ourselves and a jaundiced view of others... That way, we experience the pleasure of self-righteousness without the pain of penitence." - John Stott

III. GOD THE JUDGE
"To everyone God is the kind of God he believes in." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Takeaway: Gentleness is not a compromise.
