Spiritual pride is very apt to suspect others, but a humble saint is most jealous of himself. He is as suspicious of nothing in the world as he is of his own heart. The spiritually proud person is apt to find fault with other saints…and to be quick to notice their deficiencies. But the eminently humble Christian has so much to do at home, and sees so much evil in his own heart, and is so concerned about it, that he is not apt to be very busy with other hearts… Pure Christian humility disposes a person to take notice of everything that is good in others, and to make the most of it, and to diminish their failings, but to give his eye chiefly on those things that are bad in himself.

Jonathan Edwards

A change, a revolution, a catastrophe had occurred deep down inside him, and there was cause for self-examination.

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (transl. C. Donougher)

Puritans were riddled with anxiety and submitted themselves to pitiless self-examination. Yet Josselin, even when life unravelled and hurt, remained grateful for 'His wisdom and providence'. It was a surveillance society of the soul and it is no wonder that it cultivated anxieties and paranoia.

Paul Lay, Providence Lost

What do love and justice require of us? Love and justice require us to tell the truth, as best we can, about historical and contemporary injustices... Love and justice require us to believe those who have the bravery and honesty to share their stories with us. Love and justice require us to examine our own practices and behaviours, and to work for systemic change.

Minute 27, Britain Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends, 2022

Attention to Details

Self-examination and overcoming are an ongoing, daily task for Christians allowing us to search deeply into the details of our behavior.

Presented by Tim Martens, April 23, 2024, at United Church of God in Northwest Arkansas.

I found myself writing today and rather enjoyed it.

Could it be me?

From a reprint of the blog Jack’s Winning Words comes this thought provoker – “The trouble with thee is often me.”  (Pastor Bob’s bulletin) During my ministry I always included a Sentence Sermon in the Sunday bulletin, a short, positive message for worshippers to take home with them. I note that Preacher Bob did something similar, as with today’s quote.  Bob reminds us that when we find fault…

Examine Yourself

Carl Pollard We usually lie to ourselves more than we do to others. However, repentance in and of itself is being open and honest with God. It’s recognizing sin, and turning from it.  The prodigal son took his inheritance, left home and blew all his money. He waisted his money fulfilling his every desire. But after a while, the money ran out and he was forced to get a job working with pigs. He…

The Secret of Thy Presence

The Secret of Thy Presence

Psalm 31:19-20. Oh how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of Thy presence from the pride of man: Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Here’s a lovely song that I don’t remember ever hearing before: We like to say…

#276/280 Title: Three Sayings about Self-Awareness and Self-Examination

Description: A Story Found in Chapter 6 of the Gospel of Luke, Verses 39-42 and Given the Title, “Three Sayings about Self-Awareness and Self-Examination”; KJV-Bible-Online-Based Bible Verse: “And he [Jesus] spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.” (Luke 6:39-42 / KJV)
