judgment

Judge (and its sister word, judgmental) is a four-letter word--which doesn’t mean you can’t ever use it, only that it’s best to use it infrequently and only when absolutely necessary.

Jesus spoke so much about eternal fire and brimstone, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and the everlasting miseries of hell precisely because he loves us. His warnings about judgment invite us to flee beneath the shadow of his wings for shelter and refuge.
