Often I look into situations with the eyes of discernment.  I don't always like what I see however I have learned that "forcing someone to see or hear" isn't the way to enlightening them either.  I can only teach you from experience and leading a 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 + something to water and expecting them to drink is completely arrogant.  Why would you listen to me?  My words are based upon words of wisdom whether the wisdom was found in the pages of the Bible or another source.  I have usually lived the words I speak.  I do not presume myself to be above reproach because most importantly, I am human and completely flawed.  Though you may not view me with eyes that see those flaws, I inspect myself daily.  I test my motives and my thoughts before the throne of Almighty God.  I ask only to be a servant knowing full well a servant of this faith will endure the persecution; the hostility, attitudes, actions, and words of others who believe I am presenting a false front.  A house divided cannot stand.

But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord ~ Joshua 24:15
