In Sunday School we talked about the passage where Jesus says something to this effect, “Get the plank out of your own eye before you attempt to help your neighbor with the speck in his eye.” The issue of hypocrisy is not new to the church. We have always had hypocrites in the church, and we always will. But God is calling us to get rid of our planks, not so that we can say we are perfect, but so that we can grow and build up others in the body of Christ. He is longing for us to take out our planks, and give them to Him, so that He can use them to build something incredible.
