Beware of taking short-cuts when building

Morning: Psalm 50; Exodus 34:1-17; Colossians 2:8-23

Evening: Psalms 114, 115; Luke 6:39-49

Jesus sometimes teaches serious things by using humour ... Are we so keen to look for little specks in other people’s eyes while we have a plank in our own?  Do we build without a foundation?  Do our plans and projects look good on the outside but do not spring from a change of heart?  Jesus’s call to build a radical new way of life is very demanding, We may be tempted to take short-cuts.  In building something new, though, short-cuts can result in the collapse of the whole venture.
