Why We Must Be Good Loggers

Christ calls a certain class of person "thou hypocrite" in Luke 6.42(KJV). A hypocrite back then was an actor, like a theatre actor. According to Christ a hypocrite was a person who claimed to follow and honor God, but could clearly see the small imperfections in the people around him, and was blind to the humongous imperfections (the logs) in his own life. This kind of person was an actor. They pretended to serve God, but someone who is not interested in seeing his own large flaws is not a true servant of God; he is nothing but an actor.

This is why we must be good loggers. If we truly serve Christ, then we will remove the logs in our own eyes, before we go about clearing specks out of other peoples' eyes. If we do this we will not be hypocrites. We will be faithful servants. Hypocrites are hypervigilant, except with themselves. True Christians are grace-filled loggers.
