If someone "exposes" someone and then lets their words stand---maybe. But pages of arguing and insults? I don't see a biblical precedent for that. If they are accursed, why not say what you need and leave? Aren't the accursed supposed to be avoided? I think we all, myself included, ought to be...

I believe Jesus said his sheep hear his voice. It's often a still small internal voice for me but its not me. I have be still and listen by faith. It's beautiful to hear both correction and affirmation from God. And it does take humility to take time alone to do this.

I had to realize that. Then I had to just filter out the bad I wanted to say. For a long time Ive just had to not say a whole lot. Now I want to move into saying more good things.

Lean times but God is taking care of us. Soon, things should ease up. I'm in a good place this morning. Glad ya'll are well!

1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

Sometimes I suspect I crave knowledge more than Godly love for others.

I wanted believers to look up to. But if they clearly aren't trying to walk in love, it doesn't matter how much knowledge they have---I shouldn't look up to them.

Interesting read. Thanks.

Not really sure what a Mason is, to be honest. I just hear things.
