Identifying other peoples problems (OPP) is pretty easy. I mentioned the story of Sampson in a message a while back and if you read judges 16 it's hard to imagine how he kept falling for Delilah's tricks. After all, the very thing he told her would cause him to lose his strength kept happening every morning when he woke up!!! HELLO!!! EARTH TO SAMPSON!!! How can you not see this???? Maybe you and Delilah should take a little time off????? See other people????
I think as Christians we can be real good at identifying specks in other peoples eyes when we have planks in our own. It's not our job to judge people, nor can we be everyones Holy Spirit. Phil.2:13 says that God is at work........IN YOU!!! Instead of pointing out what everyone else is doing, let's be people that humbly allow the Holy Spirit to bring conviction and change into our own lives first......
I always get a little leery when I hear people say things like....."I wish so and so had been here to hear this message, they could really use it." "I wish Sampson had heard this sermon on relationships, he's really messed up........" Identifying others issues is always easier than dealing with our own.
