"To fear the LORD is to HATE evil" Prov 8
Elsie, I think we can agree that those who are so quick to tell us about God and Who He is - don't KNOW God nor anything of what HE says or commands 'HIS OWN' to do.
"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."
Some are rebelling at your obedience, Elsie. Why would that be?
Ephesians 5:12 "For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret."
1 Timothy 5:20 "Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning".
And then there are those who are unteachable, who REFUSE warning!
So Elsie ..... God's Word says to you
"And as for you, brethren, never tire of doing what is right". 2 Thes 3:13
"Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart". 2 Corinthians 4:1
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. " Galatians 6:9
I almost HAVE to do this; as I am running low on worms to eat!
