Telling Phrase 18: "Take the Log Out of Your Own Eye"

This biblical expression is often misunderstood. It basically means, make sure that you are not calling someone out for a problem that they have if you have the same problem AND you aren't aware of it, or you are aware of it and you are not trying to correct it. Many people take this to mean that, "It's no one place to judge because nobody's perfect." That's not true. Good judgment is necessary. Holding people accountable is a great practice that takes courage. Telling someone that they need to change something if they plan to grow as an individual can be very helpful for everyone involved. It is when the adviser is not taking their own advice that the problem presents itself.
