Words of the week

“Can’t you just be happy for me?”    People say, while arguing 
involvement in a matter.     However, to be happy for someone we must be comfortable
with their choice.  Otherwise, it will be our support of that which isn’t approved and
violating our conscience.    Being happy for someone, should cause us to look at the matter
and see if any law is broken.  For example, why be happy for a person who didn’t get caught
cheating on his taxes?    Why be happy for a daughter who is going to move in with a loser
boyfriend who can’t hold a job and has a drinking and drug problem?   
 
People can be involved in sinful things, while asking others to be happy for them.  
​God fearing people cannot honor such a request.  1 Timothy 5:20-22.  
 
We will be happy if sin isn’t made to appear to be respectful.
