Comparison and envy. Thank goodness Christians don’t have to deal with that stuff. Right? Because comparison kills creativity. And envy kills joy. Matter of fact, it even kills people. Yikes!

“Iron Sharpens Iron” is just about 99.99% always used as a positive expression. Christians, especially men, love to use it as though it’s a good thing to do to/for a friend or colleague to “help” them get closer to the true meaning of scripture.

It was four years ago, to the day, today. And a few minutes ago I ran across something I shared that day. I can see it, in my mind’s eye, almost as clearly as if I were looking right at it right now. And that’s even though my location is about as different, now, as night is from day. I talked about how I … The rest of the story…

It’s what selfish people do. And, for some, it’s almost like they wouldn’t tell the truth even if it sounded better. Yeah, selfish people lie. They have to lie to make themselves look and feel better than everybody around them. And they spread lies about other people to try and make those other people look bad to their friends.
