Now let's get to the lashing!
Have you ever been to church, the minister was preaching, and all that was running through your head was, "oh my goodness, this is so true! I wish Samuel was here. I need to write this down so I can tell him later"? Or, you're reading the scriptures and something like 1 Corinthians 15:33 comes up: "Don't be deceived, bad company corrupts good character". Then the first thing you think about is, "okaaaayyyy... No wonder Sandra started acting weirdly! She's been hanging around those rough guys for so long".
Somehow, the Word of God tells you about everyone else but yourself. You're dead wrong!
