Matthew 7:1-12 Seeking the Golden Rules I. DEAL WITH OTHERS MERCIFULLY (v1-6) JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING MYSELF We must FIRST SEE CLEARLY if we are to JUDGE CORRECTLY. JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING my OWN HEART. JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING to WANT to HELP. JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING WHAT is HOLY. II.

We KNOCK to HAVE OPENED by God that He might use us to HELP OTHERS discover the OPEN DOORS God has for THEM.
