Serving Today 840 - John's epistles part 4 and Abuse of Scripture

Derek French finishes a survey of 1 John with Roger Prime, looking at the basis of Christian assurance, the unpardonable sin, and the nature of adoption. 

Andrew Cook chats with Steve Kneale about how Matt. 7;1 is misused to criticise Christians for taking any ethical stand. Does Jesus tell us not to judge, or to use a right judgement? How does taking the plank out of our own eye relate to taking the speck out of our brother's eye? The wider context of Matt. 7 is how to deal with hypocrisy among those who profess faith. We judge sin knowing that we ourselves are sinners.
