Can I really say: “My faith is my own business?” Even without considering what the Bible says, this statement is untenable. My beliefs permeate my whole being, the way I see things, the way I say things, the way I do things. And it DOES matter, especially when one is a leader.

Another that one’s faith is like salt- the moment one takes a mouthful of saltless food, it is noticed...
