It is an easy thing to point out the flaws of others when we ourselves are trying to live holy lives.

Because we see ourselves trying so hard, but we see others faltering, and so we look down on them and we judge them and then we begin to think that we’re better than them.

This is not biblical. Not for a second should we judge. I would say we should help a friend or brother when he is struggling, but we should not be so quick to look down on others just because we are doing good. 

The more one tries to be perfect and to do God’s will, the more one realizes how fallen and sinful we really are. As Paul said, “I am the worst of sinners.”
