Have you ever heard the pharse that “It’s easier to attract folks with honey than vinegar?” The saying is referring to the attitude that you use when dealing with people.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
Without a doubt, as soon as you read this, I am positive you can identify with the scripture!

That is, the ability to take a stand on the moral issues that mold our everyday lives as prescribed by Christ.

Jim was caught in a torrid sex affair, later revelations about accounting fraud brought him prision and an end to his marriage. There were a lot of people that celebrated Jim’s fall. As sad as it was. There was another evangelist at the time that made the sex scandal public knowledge - Jimmy Swaggart.
