Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye. Matthew 7:4
Most people would insist that they are not prejudice, but it is a part of human nature that is hard to overcome. It is a tendency to show partiality against anyone we fear or don't understand. Ironically, while we fear in the sin of others, the greater wrong is our sin, partiality and judgment. That is the log in our eye. One day a large leather clad motorcycle gang came into a restaurant. Customers and some employees bailed out the back door in fear. In fact, this turned out to be a church group on the way to worship. Let's give people a chance. I learned an important lesson that day, Let's look at ourselves first.
