I’ve had this thought bouncing around in my head the past couple days…though I might as well write it down.

What does it say about a person who attempts to make themselves look good, by tearing others down?

What does it say about a person who does that only behind the other’s back? (And is encouraging face to face?)

What does it say about a person when the things they say are dishonest at best?

What does it say when a person like that leads in the church?

What does it say when we tolerate this?

A lot more questions than answers today.
