There's a lot of times in these situations where we don't want to say something. We would rather that someone continue in their lie than that we would face pushback.
It's less comfortable, as if comfort were our standard,
and then we just let the lies keep running.
Some of the same people who deny that persecution exists... ...it doesn't even require any physical pain in order for them to turn tail and run.
No, it's not persecution. It's peer pressure, you know.
If we're going to deny that God has made a change in our life, whether it's salvation or whether it's, "Hey guys, we were wrong," how's God gonna honor it?
He's not.
Spend a lot of time in prayer as to how God wants you to do that, because sometimes people try to weaponize the truth as a carnal weapon to get back at those who have hurt them.
Use God's Word as the antidote to the lies to which you have been exposed.
If we never listen to the absolute truth of God's Word,we build up a lot of pride in the way that we excuse ourselves and accuse others.
People excuse their inaction because, "If everybody doesn't do the right thing, then there's still going to be negative consequences."
Well, If nobody does the right thing, then you are assured of that outcome.
