One would be short-sighted as well as unrealistic if they were to assume to never incorporate someone’s past in the way they view their present. It’s humanly impossible to forget someone’s past mistakes, but just remembering isn’t judging.
When we assume one’s final chapter has already been penned and we don’t leave open the possibility for change we judge. When we judge others we remove the potential for others to allow God to work in their life.

I think it's important to understand a person's past in order to watch for pitfalls or temptations that may pull them away from the faith. This isn't judging, its coming along beside them. Standing on the sidelines-now that's judging.
snowing like crazy up here!
