Jesus’ Practices In The Business World

The first is “Logs Before Specks, or Lead Thyself First”. The following passage was an important lesson Jesus was trying to teach his followers on how to look within themselves and not judge others before we judge ourselves. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged?
