(Matthew 7:3 KJV) And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?I have noticed that the leftists in the media and politics like to take their own devious priorities and accuse conservatives of being guilty. Remember Hillary and her talk of a “great right wing conspiracy” when it was really the left that had the conspiracy going? Remember all the talk about the violence being generated by conservative talk radio when it was the left showing no restraint. Who is it that is being uncivil in the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings? In psychology it is called “projection”. Jesus knew about it.
So I find that when I see others doing things I think are wrong I need to take a deep breath and look at my own actions and motives. Jesus again,
(Matthew 7:5 KJV) Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.The only thing I will add that people don’t like to hear is that one reason we are called to self examination and honesty is so that we can then proceed to evaluate others.
