Why do some people pretend to be good and upright leaders in churches, local government and other public forums? They put on a mask to the public where they look like outstanding model citizens, but in reality they hide their often narcissistic,
abusive and manipulative behaviors from the public, but secretly have their foot on people's necks, controlling them, and their families, especially the children!
It is a great offense that needs to be exposed and stopped. Jesus warned about causing children to stumble. It would be better that they tied a milestone around their neck and commit su***de by drowning themselves in the oceans than to offend those little one (see Matthew 18, Mark 9, and Luke 17). Abuse, manipulation, taking advantage of, gaslighting, tricking, and other similar tactics constitute causing the children to slip and stumble and be offended.
Psalms 10:1-18 NIV
[1] Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? [2] In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. [3] He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord. [4] In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. [5] His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies. [6] He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.” [7] His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. [8] He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; [9] like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net. [10] His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength. [11] He says to himself, “God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.” [12] Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless. [13] Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”? [14] But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless. [15] Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out. [16] The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. [17] You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, [18] defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
