Situation (Who,
What, When, Where)
Analyzing Your Judgment
Is this a final or intermediate
judgment?
Have you sought the guidance of the
Spirit?
Righteous Judgment
Foolish Judgment
Describe an intermediate,
spirit-led judgment of
someone within your
stewardship and after
considering all the facts and
applying righteous standards.
Describe a final judgment of
someone else based on your
own reasoning without
considering all the facts and
using unrighteous standards.
Decision
Evaluate the outcome of
the chosen judgment in
your life.
Is the person you are judging within
your Stewardship?
Do you have all of the relevant facts?
Are you judging the person rather
than the behavior?
Are you making the fundamental
attribution error? (Ignoring the
situation)

“Judge not
according to the
appearance, but
judge righteous
judgment” (John
7:24)
Are you applying righteous
standards? Do you know this
person’s capacity and the full context
of his/her life?
Would you want to be judged
according to the same standard?
