Specks and Planks

I shared a somewhat frustrating interaction that I had with Randal Rauser not that long ago. Let me share something now that I found especially helpful and which I want to pass on to a wider audience. He wrote:

Every worldview faces serious objections. Many of us spend a lot of time pointing out the specks in our neighbor’s worldview. Do we have the courage and intellectual honesty to confront the planks in ours?

A related thought that I’ve often shared is this one:

“You cannot judge people because they sin differently than you”. – Erykah Badu

Of course, you can judge them, the point being that you shouldn’t.

Of related interest, here’s a previous post on this topic from a while back:
