Guard Your Tongue! Do not repeat evil speech of others!
Ephesians 5:12. For it is dishonorable even to say the things that are done by them in secret, 13. but all things are exposed, being revealed under the light, 14. for everything is revealed in light.
We are in a time when Evil is being exposed, but even though supposedly protected, whistleblowers in the government are being persecuted. They are being persecuted despite having laws that protect whistleblowers; the powerful people and organizations being exposed have enough power to persecute anyway. The whistleblowers are performing a great service to the country so we need many more to come forth. On the other hand, there are many in public life and in the media who make every effort to mislead, telling baldfaced lies to make opponents look bad and themselves to look good.
