Upset with the unfriendly remark made earlier, I purposely went to search for an article under the heading of “Rebuke” in “Our Daily Bread” devotional booklet and found a “relief”. We tend to be NICE and chose to remain silent because more often not we are reluctant to be labeled as Nosy. Sometimes, We tend to compromise obedience to God’s Word to avoid losing “popularity”. As per the article, “…some curb their tongues, not only in form but also in substance…this is not civility, it is cowardice, or well-intentioned self-deception at best”. Jesus confronted the Pharisees and exposed their sins when HE said that they were like “whitewashed tombs…full of dead men’s bones”“Some will hate you, some will love you;
Some will flatter, some will slight;
Cease from man, and look above you,
Trust in GOD and do the right” – by Macleod
