Your involvement in ungodly is private, ‘loving’, not mean-spirited ?
You have no part in lgbt or woke or dei that plague so many and generate militant ill will.
But you still have disdain for anything that hints of judging you, that says you should stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Blessed<\/span> is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly,
Who does not stand in the way of sinners,
Who does not sit in the seat of the scornful,
But his delight is in the law of the Lord . . .
The ungodly are not so . . .
The Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly will perish<\/span>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read the whole psalm.
Read—Take Heed !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
