Our Lifestyle Can be a Reproach to Others

Men are born sinners and it makes them very uncomfortable to be around righteous people. Therefore it is only natural for them to try to do away with people or things that tend to expose their sin. An example of this is the removing of the Bible from our public schools. I remember a very worldly neighbor that we once had who would do things against us. It was not because we had done anything against him (in fact we had tried to do nice things for him) but simply because our way of life was a reproach to his lifestyle.
