THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT: How the World Sees the Church's Flaws

Ecclesiastes 10: 1 "...So a little folly outweighs wisdom" Our failures often make a bigger “splash” than our successes. People will often forget all the good a man has done and judge him based on the one mistake or failure in his life.
