Keeping the Focus Where it Belongs

Monday Devotional

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Luke 6:41-42

“Gary,” the e-mail read, “What does a wife do when her husband doesn’t love her like Christ loves the church?”

I responded by pointing out that no husband alive loves his wife this well. While all Christian husbands should aspire to it, the truth is that we all fall short.

I soon received a second e-mail.
