I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.”-John 8:26 NLT
We may know someone is lying, we may know someone is being fake, and we may know when someone is being religious. Just because we know something about someone else doesn’t mean we need to call them out.
How is God glorified when we call out their faults? How close do we think they’re going to get to God when a “Christian” criticizes them?
It’s beneficial to keep our mouths shut about someone else’s faults, unless we’ve been permitted by God to speak on them. When God permits us to speak on another person’s faults, He knows that’s the best time for them to receive what we’re saying. Any other time may bring animosity and hostility.
Let’s do better at only saying what God wants us to say and not saying what our flesh wants to say or saying something WE think they need to hear.
