MY HOUSE NEEDS A CLEANING

In I Corinthians 9:27, Paul says, “I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” Was Paul literally talking about beating his body into submission? Probably not, but I believe he was pointing out the age old view of Christians by the world. We are seen by many, and maybe rightly so, as hypocrites. We are all quick to tell others how to live, what choices they should make; pointing out their faults while living a less than perfect life ourselves. Does this mean we should never speak up when we see a brother or sister struggling? No, but it does mean that we should make sure our own house is clean before we take a broom to someone else’s.
