Not for an instant, do I profess to be like Christ. It is an impossibility for me, as a human, to be perfect. I can not change the world, yet I can try to make changes in myself. I can work on myself, and hope to effectively change a small piece of the world, through my actions. My children, and hopefully friends and relatives, will see that I do indeed, try live my life the way that I believe the Bible says to live.
I try not to judge others, as I should not see the splinter in their eye, while ignoring the plank in my own eye. I have learned through many years, that just because someone tells me something, it is not necessarily the truth. The person that they are talking about, is guilty, thus, less deserving than I am. I have long since left the opinion that, 'At least I'm not that bad.'
Today reading comes from John Shore, "The Catholic Church and the "sin so grievous it cries out for vengeance." A very thought provoking article, written by someone in the Catholic church, wanting the church to try to be more Christ like.
Enjoy
