The Plank

The Future of Love --- Matthew 7:1-12 A casual observer of Christian behavior from today and throughout history would find themselves wondering if we were reading the same Bible. Jesus tells us not to judge others. That doesn't sound like us at all, does it? Especially as you get closer to the world stage. Jesus always made a habit of redeeming the social pariahs because he came to us knowing one of the few universal truths about humanity. We all need grace and redemption. So examine your motives when you judge another's behavior, even privately. Is it for condemnation or redemption? And do you perhaps have a "plank in your own eye" that is blinding you to their perspective?
