Your teammate makes a bad play. Your raid wipes. Someone doesn't know the dungeon. Suddenly, it becomes incredibly easy to forget that there's a real person behind that screen and begin judging them instead. \nPastor Nfluence challenges us to ask a different question:\nBefore I point out what's wrong with someone else, have I allowed God to examine what's happening in me?\nJesus doesn't simply tell us to ignore our brothers and sisters. Pastor Nfluence explains that we should care enough to help—but first remove the plank from our own eye. Our correction should come from a heart that genuinely wants to help, not from anger, frustration, pride, or hypocrisy. \nThe message also tackles the difficult words of Jesus:\n“Do not throw your pearls to pigs.”\nWhat does that actually mean? Pastor Nfluence connects this teaching with Jesus sending out His disciples in Luke 10 and challenges Christians to share the good news faithfully without allowing rejection to turn into anger and judgment. Our responsibility is obedience; we can't control how another person responds. \nWhether you're in a raid, competitive match, Discord server, comment section, workplace, church, or home:\nRemove the plank. Show grace. Be the light of Jesus.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oo7I0Uxzy1KE4-rgYIf0n2bNgpOSdTLnqSjvX08sDmI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMDgx/YmJiNzgwYmFmNDY3/NDBhM2QzMDI0Njc3/ZThiNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
