From the Pulpit...

Spend more time judging yourself than others. Consider your own ways before volunteering yourself to correct another (Gal. 6:1). Remember that your own internal sins are just as visible to God as the external ones you see in others. Your pride, lack of forgiveness, hate, lust, lack of mercy, impatience, self-righteousness, etc. are all on wide-open display toward God. And God hates those things (Prov. 6:16-19).
