What’s the difference between judging others and constructive criticism? - Judging Others - TouchPoints

Colossians 3:13Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Galatians 6:1Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.

One coach berates a player publicly for a mistake made in the game. Another coach waits until the game is over and addresses the player privately with instruction about how to avoid making the same mistake again. While no one likes criticism—even when it is constructive—you sometimes need it. But it is much easier to receive criticism when it is offered gently and in love rather than harshly and to humiliate. To judge someone is to criticize with no effort to see that person succeed or improve. To offer constructive criticism is to invest in another for the purpose of building a relationship and helping that person become the person God created him or her to be.
