Abe,Interesting and pertinent observations! The bottom line is to learn when to keep your mouth shut! Meaning, we must realize our inability to convict [i]anyone[/i], that conviction is a ministry that belong to the Holy Spirit. All we are is a tool in his hands which he may decide to use. In being available to be used by the LORD, we may actually get a glimpse of his glory! But if not, we can rest assured that the battle we are in is deadly, not pleasant and will continue until Jesus returns. Thanks for the post. Your points are not just for preachers, but for any serious Christian, IMHO.ginnyrose
