A basic in studying language is the declension of the verb “to be.”\u00a0 It starts with three short sentences of basic communication:<\/p>\n

“YOU ARE”\u00a0 brings to mind the phrase, “You’re the man!”\u00a0 That is commonly used to give someone a compliment and a positive verbal slap on the back.\u00a0 However, there is a caution and a warning with those words from a story in the Bible.\u00a0 When the preacher\/prophet Nathan told a “set-up” story to confront king David about his sin with Bathsheba, he clinched it with, “You’re the man!”\u00a0 Guilty.\u00a0 Conviction.\u00a0 Repentance.\u00a0 Restoration.<\/p>\n
