Certainly we should point out sin… but with humility . Just remember that you too without mercy have no means of salvation for we all have sinned. Our Lord always emphasizes Mercy over judgement. When we place judgement over mercy we are no different than the people of Israel.

What about social justice and our responsibility to hold others accountable? Jesus words “if your brother trespasses against you, tell him his fault…” This text came before “…forgive seventy times seven.” We have a response to admonish sin. The apostle Paul told a community, I think it was the Colossians to admonish one another. We make moral judgements all the time and must continue to do so.
