In Acts 13:22 after God raised David up to be king of Israel He gave this testimony about David, “I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after My heart, who will do all My will.” You and I need a heart like David, a heart that has a desire for God.

This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more
