That's one of my weaknesses. I always seem to defend people when others lie about them. Tell the truth, and that's fine, but I resent lying, especially to try to make someone look bad.
================================================
Willie, having a heart for Truth is a wonderful thing, and defending others is a Christian's duty,
but,
discernment and who we defend are the key factors....we have learned that it is always better to
keep silent that to defend the un-godly....
the scriptures are very clear on what each of us should hold-up as Holy Standards, it's our job
to apply the principles to the best of our knowledge.....
we can do good in so many ways all-day-long, but if we are not abiding by the Word of God and His instructions,
then we are but lost sheep,,,,
we see in this day and age that the mega-preachers have not come-out-from-among-them,
quite the contrary, they have buried themselves in the luxury's of mammon while their
flocks are starving for want of Spiritual and physical sustenance...
as it is written,
You cannot serve God and mammon'.....
