    At the very heart of hypocrisy is the abiity to spot a speck in another person's eye while being blind to the log in one's own eye.

    This is an amazing passage of scripture… it is most often quoted by those who do not follow Christ and directed at those who do follow Christ. Hypocrisy is the number one sin Christians are accused of doing. Title: Big Specks and Little Logs (The idea is that we tend to play up the sins of ...read more

    Jesus assured us in the Parable of the Sower that people falling away from the faith would be a regular part of our experience. However, we certainly don't want it to be our personal experience! An oft-ignored & challenging warning tells us how we can prevent that possibility.

These, tragically, were ...read more
