"It is up to us to accept (i.e. not judge!) the world and it's problems"

We are not called to accept sin nor to condone sinful behavior in our midst. While we are not to judge the heart of another for only God can know it, we ARE to judge actions that are unacceptable and drive it away from us. God has always warned His people to put corruption away from them lest they themselves be corrupted.

this I agree with. However, the only unacceptable actions I can judge, and therefore drive away are my own. Oh, but if I COULD deal with problems outside of me, I most certainly would. But I can only keep my side of the street clean, not yours.
