For the sake of friends and, especially, the members of the UCKG, I’d like to make some interesting comments…

Is it the case that people who accuse me of taking advantage of others, saying that I am a crook or thief, would love to have the life that I have?

Or do they accuse me because they are honest, righteous, true, and holy? And if so, then why aren’t they as blessed as they wish they were? Why is God so unfair to them?

What kind of God is that who blesses a crook and curses the righteous one? Or is it that, despite being so honest, they can’t succeed because they are incompetent?

Would their incompetence be the reason behind their failure?

As Theodore Roosevelt once said, “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
