“We find our answer in our Lord’s examples and analogies here followed by the word that describes the ones who do this. The ones judging sinfully are doing so in a way that will bring about the judgment on self to the level or measure of how they mete it out. They are critical of others while being guilty of doing the same thing they are bringing to light. Jesus calls them hypocrites.”
1 Μὴ κρίνετε, ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε· 2 ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίματι κρίνετε κριθήσεσθε, καὶ ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν. 3 τί δὲ βλέπεις τὸ κάρφος τὸ ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου, τὴν δὲ ἐν τῷ σῷ ὀφθαλμῷ δοκὸν οὐ κατανοεῖς; 4 ἢ πῶς ἐρεῖς τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου· ἄφες ἐκβάλω τὸ κάρφος ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ δοκὸς ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ; 5 ὑποκριτά, ἔκβαλε πρῶτον ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σοῦ τὴν δοκόν, καὶ τότε διαβλέψεις ἐκβαλεῖν τὸ κάρφος ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου. Matthew 7:1-5 (NA28)
1 Do not judge lest you be judged. 2 With what judgement you judge you will be judged, and with what measure you measure it will be measured to you. 3 And why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye but the beam in your eye you do not consider? 4 Or how will you say to your brother, “let me take out the speck from your eye” and behold the beam is in your eye? 5 Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. (Matthew 7:1-5 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)
I believe that I have been called a hypocrite more this year than in any other year of my life. No matter who says it or writes it, it still stings. What is so troubling to me, however, is not that I am called that, but that most believers are ignorant of the fact that the most prevalent example of hypocrisy is to profess Christ as Lord and Savior, while being totally enslaved to one’s flesh with the resultant fleshly behavior that is the fruit of pride.

13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:13-14 (LSB)
“One of the reasons God pulls back the curtain – in the Bible and today – and allows us to see people blowing their lives up with sin is to warn us of the consequences we’ll reap from our own sin, and so that we might learn not to repeat the sins of others. Take the free advice God gave the PMBC elders. They spurned it. You learn it. Or you just might be the next example God allows others to learn from.”
“Is there a Biblical model of church conferences? With all the valuable information the Scriptures provide on how the church should function, one wonders whether there are examples of conferences in the early church. Actually, there are some. Paul calls the Ephesian elders to meet with him in Miletus, where he counsels them to “pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood” (
(Protestia) Prominent evangelical teaching and preaching ministry G3 is shutting down “effective immediately,” according to a brief email they sent to Network church partners that was obtained by Protestia.
It also mentions that his friends have low-security digital footprints and posts what appears to be screenshots of their profiles. It even names at least one of them. At some point, it apparently says, “This is just the beginning! Barron Trump, wait for us!”
“These cases involve very different circumstances, but both highlight the devastating consequences that severe postpartum mental illness can have, and both raise a question that deserves serious attention: What happens when postpartum effects become severe, when the people around a struggling mother fail to recognize the danger, and when treatment does not adequately address the crisis?”
Appalled by Piker’s deliberate mockery of the man who had once been his close friend and mentor, Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet
(Bill O’Reilly) Abraham Lincoln was the most loathed President in history; 
“Today, whole churches and even some denominations are engaged in deconstructing the “faith once delivered to the saints,” in fact creating a whole new God who is more to their liking, and a gospel that suits their modern sensibilities.”
“As we watch the ugliness unfold, there are lessons for us. Don’t just ‘tut tut’ from the sidelines. When we see something like this happen, remember that sinners be sinning and we’re sinners too. We need to remember our gut reaction to seeing people’s sin exposed, and remember it’s just as ugly when we ourselves gossip, slander, cause division, and deceive…”
“G3 isn’t really the problem. It’s just one manifestation of the real problem. The real problem is the monster we’ve built as evangelicals—the Evangelical Industrial Complex. The evangelical speaking circuit has become one of the most profitable ways for church leaders to line their pockets.”
“One wonders how this itch to discredit or destroy their adversaries by anonymous dirty tricks crept into G3’s DNA. This will be another scandal G3 did not need, and it is one they probably cannot survive. The organization frankly should not survive if anyone on the inside who knew about or participated in this plot remains in leadership.”
“First, what is a Democrat socialist? Marketing aside, it’s a communist. The official platform wants public ownership of corporations to seize the means of production. They want to “abolish the carceral state, which means no police, no prisons, of course, no guns for self-defense, so we are sheep to the slaughter….'”
“But this clown bypasses the entire debate by pretending that God has disclosed the answer to these charismatic windbags through “prophetic dreams.” He turns his own personal political views into divine revelation and then declares that the Christians can have “zero doubt” that this is all from God. And who wants to oppose God, right?”
“In recent American history, many have seen Jesus as fire insurance. Praying a prayer to believe in Him means that you’re not going to go to hell. However, people who go down this path, flippantly believing in Jesus, are often unconverted because they don’t understand His true teaching.”
“In the most aggressive point in the debate, Andrew Wilson makes an attempt to force Candace Owens to defend her conspiracy mongering at the 2:34:00 timestamp: “Do you actually believe that anybody in TPUSA or Erika Kirk […] actually participated, had foreknowledge of, or facilitated the murder of Charlie Kirk?” This was an excellent way to put the question to Candace, such that she’d have no choice but to take a stand one way or the other….”
