					<description><![CDATA[Great post John,
Spiritual maturity (aka: Wisdom) is bestowed from a loving God to His people. We are mere pots of clay carrying that message. I don&#039;t get upset anymore either &#038; reason is often torn asunder. Pray for them and know that &quot;eventually... Everyone Meets GOD&quot;. May God have Mercy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I disagree, this isn&#039;t such a great post. While your reasoning of speaking and standing by the truth is valid your post fails in promoting walking with our sisters and brothers, which takes time, a lot of effort and work, but is totally necesarry. 

One post, one talking point, and then walking away isn&#039;t Christian. What&#039;s prevelant in blogs, fb, twitter...is just back and forth arguments and rehashing talking points. It&#039;s odd that Christians on social media platforms aren&#039;t socializing and meeting &quot;others&quot; and building relationships first. 

We fool ourselves in thinking that our job is simply blurting out our valid points and never getting to know our sister or brother first. If we did grow in relationship with our opposing neighbor first, we may actually realize there&#039;s been a log in our eye blocking our view this entire time.  

Btw, I note the irony of doing exactly what I messaged above by posting this.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When the truth hurts I sometimes feel and wonder if our Lord knows the truth then isn’t it up to him to place judgment? The Bible is man’s interpretation written by people who have been inspired and influenced to write. We know in our hearts that we need to spread the word to save others however be careful what you preach! There’s always consequences! 🕊️🙏🏼💓]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you Dr. John for sharing this reflection and experience. I have read that when the truth is proclaimed, the messenger is often rejected as it brings to mind people&#039;s unease with what they choose to accept and do. Timing and delivery are important but I&#039;m sorry some of your family is no longer speaking to you. It hurts.]]></description>
