About this listen

How clearly do we see ourselves and others? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7:1–5 about judging others with humility and spiritual clarity. Using a striking illustration from astronomy, Pastor Philip reminds us how easily our perception can be distorted—especially when self-righteousness blinds us to our own faults.


Jesus does not forbid all forms of judgment, but He warns against hypocritical judgment that condemns others while ignoring personal sin. True biblical discernment requires humility, self-examination, and submission to God’s truth. For those seeking to grow in Christian living, the lesson is simple yet profound: before pointing out the speck in someone else’s eye, examine the condition of your own heart. When we learn to see clearly through the lens of Scripture, our relationships and our walk with God become healthier and more faithful.


Key Scripture: Matthew 7:1–5
