"When Compassion Needs a Fence" - Carlton L. Coon, Sr.

“Judge not” may be the most quoted—and most misunderstood—statement Jesus ever made. In this teaching from Matthew 7:1–6, we take a careful, contextual look at what Jesus actually meant when He spoke about judgment, discernment, and boundaries. Jesus did not call His followers to turn off their minds, ignore wisdom, or abandon evaluation. Instead, He warned against hypocrisy, hyper-criticism, and misplaced spiritual investment. Through the powerful images of beams and specks, dogs and swine, and pearls trampled in the mud, Jesus teaches us how to live with mercy and discernment. In this message, you’ll discover: Why discernment is not the same as condemnation How to evaluate people and situations without becoming critical or harsh What Jesus meant by “casting pearls before swine” Why boundaries are not unloving—but often necessary How misplaced compassion can cost you time, energy, and spiritual effectiveness When it’s wise to step back and let God do the work instead of forcing change Using Scripture from Philippians 3:2 and Revelation 22:15, this message reminds us that the Bible consistently calls believers to be loving, merciful, and wise—never naïve. If you’ve ever struggled with: Knowing when to help and when to step back Being gracious without being taken advantage of Protecting what is holy in a hostile or indifferent world This teaching will bring clarity, balance, and biblical direction. 👉 If you’d like the teaching notes or want to continue the conversation, reach out. 👉 Like, share, and subscribe to stay connected with practical, Scripture-based teaching for everyday Christian living.
