If we don't like or care for a person or something, just say nothing, for want of having anything truthfully positive to say. To flatter and "deceive" the person into false security or acceptance is downright dishonesty! There is nothing truthful about it. If people are to "worship God in Spirit and in Truth", then surely, this first principle must be adhered to? Treat our fellow "family"members with honesty and truth, then pray and praise your Creator with all your heart and soul and strength. How does the world's standards seem different from the believers' standards if we don't even acknowledge this?
A spade is not a fork, and is for the garden, not the table. There are too many spades pretending to be designer, silver forks. ...Guess who put them there!?
Wake up!...Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme!
