Romans 12:9 

Behave Like a Christian

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

 

Words

 

Can words make or break you ... what if they are without action?

Sticks and stones are needed to break a person bones

All this makes me wonder ... is pain delivered in fractions?

Some here in the physical and some in mental drones

 

When vileness is exalted and civilized ways put aside

Do the wicked prowl day and night on the side of opportunity

Is straying then a way of life and truth then vaguely right?

Is honing then a cynical look at honesty and integrity?
