Using the book: Repenting of Religion by Gregory A. Boyd

We human beings are burdened by our tendencies to harshly judge others and ourselves. Unfortunately for believers, this bent is as prevalent in the church as in the world. Our fundamental sin is that we place ourselves in the position of God and divide the world between what we judge to be good and what we judge to be evil.

Only an attitude shift in how we perceive ourselves in light of God’s love can impact how we relate to people and transform our judgmental nature. Repenting of Religion calls us to a higher standard through understanding the true manner in which God views humanity: as infinitely worthwhile and lovable.

Believers wrestling with the reality of God’s love and Christians struggling with judging in the local church will appreciate this examination of how we move from a self-centered life to a Christ-centered life. Hurting and hungry people are drawn into the reality of God’s love by seeing it demonstrated in his body, the Church.
