How often do we mutter under our breathe at the "dumb" drivers that we are stuck behind? How often do we watch the news and shake our heads at the "foolish" criminals, who commit ridiculous crimes? It is very, very easy to criticize and see the foolishness of others sins and shortcomings. But are we willing, are we able to do the same with ourselves? You can be assured that other people see our sins and shortcomings and respond in like. Jesus talked about this, the whole log in the eye thing. We need to learn to apply this to even the tiny little things in our daily lives and those around us, not just the "big" sins.
Criticize yourself first (and ruthlessly) and you'll probably find that you don't have time to criticize others.
