Matt 7:3-5

"And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?  Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?  Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

I have been seeing and hearing a lot of Christians who have a habit of pointing out small things in other peoples life.  Which reminds me of a quote "When you point at someone, you have 3 fingers pointing back at you".

Is it because when we do that it makes us look and feel better about ourselves?  Or are we truly concerned over these issues?

Augustine said this:
  • IN ESSENTIALS UNITY
  • IN NON-ESSENTIALS LIBERTY
  • IN ALL THINGS CHARITY
Check your motives, if you are trying to make yourself look and feel better then your motives are wrong.

I will leave it here for now.

Now pardon me as I remove the planks from my own eyes.
