Certainly, in Matthew 7:1, Jesus did forbid judging in one sense… But for now, note that if you read through that same gospel of Matthew, you’ll find that Jesus also clearly called us to rebuke others for sin, even rebuking them publicly if need be (Matt. 18:15-17; cf. Luke 17:3). Whatever Jesus meant by not judging in Matthew 7, He didn’t mean to rule out the kind of judging He mandated in Matthew 18… If you think about it, it is not really surprising that we as a church should be instructed to judge. After all, if we cannot say how a Christian should not live, how can we say how a Christian should live?

contain the oranges and figs in a single layer. Bring to a simmer, covered,
over moderate heat. Add the figs and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the oranges
and turn them for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them so they cook evenly. Turn
the heat off and let the oranges and figs cool in the syrup. Remove fruit
to a serving bowl. Reduce the syrup by half and let cool. Discard bouquet
garni and spoon syrup over figs and oranges. Garnish with walnuts or
pistachios if you wish This recipe yields 6 servings.
