Let's Play a Game

Read the following verses and tell me what you think my next post will be about:

"Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD." --Leviticus 19:17-18

"Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the LORD detests them both. --Proverbs 17:15

"Jesus looked at him and loved him. 'One thing you lack,' he said. 'Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.' At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth." --Mark 10:21-22

"speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ." --Ephesians 4:15

"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." --Ephesians 5:11

"Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent." Revelation 3:19

"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him." --Luke 17:3

"And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will." 2 Timothy 2:24-26

"Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2 Timothy 4:2-4

"He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it." --Titus 1:9

So what's it gonna be?
