Plank in Our Eye

In the past two days, I've learned some very important lessons from a certain bishop of a certain major Protestant denomination through a personal conversation with him:


Justice is absolutely important; it is second only to saving your own arse.


Upholding truth is a non-negotiable; as long as it doesn't involve too much energy, time, and money.


Opinion is more important than concrete evidence; especially if you're a bishop and it involves your opinion.


Wise words from a wise man. Thank the Lord for such Christian leadership.


By the way, you should listen to this bishop when he preaches about justice. His tone of conviction almost convinces you that he truly believes in what he preaches.


For now, I'd rather not say anything about corrupt judiciaries and national leadership - the plank is in our own eye.
