Judging Others
One day, as Christ-followers, we will sit in judgment of the world with Jesus, but right now we are not in that position. Why do we care? Each of us has just one life to live, and other people may be doing things we wouldn't do, but they may also be battling demons we've never encountered. We have our own problems to deal with, so why be nosy, involve ourselves in others' problems, or judge them for how they handle them? We are accountable for our own actions, so tread carefully and focus on what you need to clean up in your life rather than concern yourself with other people's lives.
Jesus says it in two ways: get the log out of your own eye before you try to get the twig out of someone else's eye, and don't worry yourself about the dogs and the pigs because it will come back to bite you in the end.
What this all boils down to is that we should mind our own business. It's as simple as that. Other people have to work things out for themselves, and we have enough to deal with in our own lives.
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Matthew 7:5-6
