… a lot of potential there but we see a lot of pigology and Jesus is driving at that you know Matthew 7 verses 1 through 6 that section of scripture has got to be the non-christians most favorite section of scripture to quote. Now they quoted it out of context, but how many times have you heard people say, hey man, don't judge. That's what Jesus said. Hey, don't, you're judging me. Don't judge me. Those are common phrases. You know, God said don't judge. Well, Jesus did not say that in Matthew 7 verses one through six. He said that we are to judge in a compassionate way using our discernment and wisdom. For example, think about all the judgments you made just today. From how you got to fellowship church, to your clothing, to the judgment call of what you had for breakfast, your kids. I mean, everything we do is judgment. is judgment. So Jesus is saying, use discernment, use judgment. You can judge, but don't judge in a way that condemns someone. Only God can do that. That's why people say sometimes, and this is horrible language, they'll say, God damn it. So you can't say as a human being, you can't tell God what to damn, what to condemn. …
… Let me help you. Let me help get this speck out of your eye. The Bible doesn't say we're not to get it out. To the contrary, we are to help get it out. but not with a log in our own eye.

… Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged. And with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye. And the mote here means like a speck of sawdust. And behold, a beam, that is a log, is in thine own eye, thou hypocrite. First cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.

Thou hypocrite, first cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. …
