I love a statement by the apostle Paul, in the Book of Philippians in the Bible. I think the Corinthians had been writing to Paul, telling him that old men were chasing young women, nobody was tithing - and all that must have run Paul crazy. He wrote back and said, "If there be anything of good report, speak of these things. " That's one of my principles. It's another discipline that I encourage myself to employ - to, as much as possible, say the courteous thing, and then be it.
