The important part of the verse is build up, this is not saying we are to be supportive of everything people do but only those things that build them up or bring them closer to God by following His will.

Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.

Numbers 22:29-30 Then Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now.” The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? :Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?” And he said, “No.”

This is a story that reminds me that God has a sense of humor, which I find very encouraging.

You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!
(Matthew 23:24)

i believe He wants us to smile :)

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
Then you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your gold-plated metal images. You will scatter them as unclean things. You will say to them, “Be gone!”


(Isaiah 30:20-22)

For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.


(Romans 2:14-16)
