Is an apology an apology when you also try to justify or rationalize behavior behind the apology? Hmm, NOT really! You are blaming your behavior on something or someone else. A good godly principle is: "Simply say, I apologize." and leave it there; no excuses, no pointing fingers. Bottom line, even if others behaviors or choices influenced you, YOU had the final choice!
Speak
Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me .’” – John 14:6 Are you being tolerant of other’s beliefs to the point of saying nothing? Not even sharing your testimony because you don’t want to offend anyone? Is the message of “tolerance” keeping you quiet? If so, you may want to consider who is influencing your decision to remain silent. A well-known biblical teacher recently quoted the phrase, “Preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words.” But Scripture states the importance of using words, as Romans 10:17 explains, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” Words are essential to use in leading individuals to Salvation. 1 Peter 1:23 emphasizes it stating, “For you have been born again, not of perishable see, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” Shutting up is the last thing Christians should be doi
