Proverbs 6:16-19 (TLB) For there are six things the Lord hates—no, seven: haughtiness, lying, murdering, plotting evil, eagerness to do wrong, a false witness, sowing discord among brothers.
This is interesting, from a writer’s perspective. The stock ‘villian you love to hate’ character is so common, and yet it seems to go directly against the dictum to avoid sowing discord, because it DOES sow a sense of manufactured ‘righteous anger’…and in its manufacture it does seem to cross the line into discord.
Jesus, “the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2), has the plot of our lives sketched out to eternity. Thanks be to God!

I KEEP IT SHORT & SIMPLE.
Why?
Almost half of American adults read below high school level. God looks at your heart, not your reading skills. Big faith can be built on simple words.
