Oh boy, this is such a complicated one. At first, it doesn't sound it. Go out and make judgements. After all, God has given you the wisdom to go out and do so, go go out and do so. We all know good and evil right? After all, we all know how to judge like the difference between daylight and night right?
Slow down a minute.
Judging is great. You are allowed to, and should judge good and evil behavior. Just remember a few crucial things. No one has to listen to you, no matter how righteous you think you are. No one also has to obey you, no matter who you are. It's also important to remember what happened to Cassandra, the famous character in Greek mythology. She was granted with gift of prophecy (which everyone seemed to be gifted with in those stories) but she was cursed with no one believing her. Eventually if you spend all your time in condemnation of everyone, no one will believe or listen to you either. I've seen this before many times. People preaching and condemning while no one listens to them because they've heard it from them two thousand times before.
Your judgements need to be mixed with common sense, compassion and and decency.
