How about speaking the truth in love Caroline? It's my personal belief that too much of the professing Church lacks being perfected in love and would rather expose than cover the multitude of sin in others while waiting for God or leadership to deal with them.  I used to hear some call what you appear to be involved in "sloppy agape" but have since learned that God views love without truth (and all that involves) as "spiritual harlotry".  judyt     On Wed, 13 Apr 2005 12:40:45 -0500 "Caroline Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > It never works for me, David.
