" Not as pleasing men, but God who tests hearts...for neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know."
It is the tendency of many Christians to speak only words which are flattering, instead of condemning. But we must keep in mind that even Christ spoke harshly when needed. Why should we fear man in rebuking them? Is it not better to risk their friendship because of the truth, than send them to Hell with flattering words, sweet as honey, yet destructive as poison.
