I wasn't a bad person who needed to become good. . . I was DEAD and needed to be brought to life! (Ephesians 2:1-10)
Everyone agrees that a secret should be kept intact, but everyone does not agree as to the nature and importance of secrecy. Too often we consult ourselves as to what we should say, what we should leave unsaid. There are few permanent secrets, and the scruple against revealing them will not last forever.
