Sometimes I Have To Be Excessively Aggressive Towards Reprobates So They Can Take A Moment To Self-reflect - Tumblr Posts

Why do we judge our brethren? Because we do not strive to know ourselves. Whoever occupies himself with self-knowledge never notices others; judge yourself, and you will stop judging others. And so, beloved, let us not observe the sins of others and judge them, so as not to hear: "The sons of men, their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword" (Ps. 56:5). For when the Lord leaves a man to himself, then the devil gets ready to crush him, as a millstone does a grain of wheat.
