But beware of men... Matthew:10:17But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

Like a gate sign warning of a dog, our Lord reminds us that the world will be unkind to His ambassadors. Men are reliably evil in the issues that ow from their hearts (Mark:7:21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
See All...), and rebellion against God's rule will be the epitaph of humanity. Paul said he became all things to all men (1 Cor:9:22To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
See All...) but that was not his ultimate goal. It was the means to his goal—seeing some saved. If we lose sight of that, we will nd out just how treacherous this world can be! —Rick Morse

If I must have some failing, let me rather speak the truth with too great severity, than once to act the hypocrite and conceal the truth. —Martin Luther
