“That historian or scholar who delights in pointing out the weaknesses and frailties of present or past leaders destroys faith. A destroyer of faith — particularly one within the Church, and more particularly one who is employed specifically to build faith — places himself in great spiritual jeopardy. He is serving the wrong master, and unless he repents, he will not be among the faithful in the eternities. Do not spread disease germs!” PastSpiritualChurchLeaderMastersDiseaseWeaknessEternityDelightSpreadFaithfulServingHistorianScholarEmployedRepentPointingGermsFrailtyDestroyersJeopardyGreat Spiritual Author:Boyd K.
