Never throw mud. You may miss your mark, but you will have dirty hands. -Parker
He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. Proverbs 10:18
Several years ago we were going through a rough time in the ministry. Lies about me and my family came out but very few people came to me to find out if the information that was said was true. I found it amazing that folks you ministered with for years were quick to believe a lie told by someone they hardly knew. I often wonder why professing Christians don’t follow God’s Word when they have a dispute (ought) with someone else in their church family.
Christian friend, if you find yourself with some bitterness brewing because you feel someone has done you wrong in the ministry or you have heard something about them, go to them. Talk it out! If you don’t, you give place for the devil to work and he would love nothing more than to destroy the relationship you have with your church family!
