Hebrews 12:14–15 reminds us, “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” This defilement transfer contaminates those closest to us. It’s not just personal . . . it’s corporate. It never just impacts me.
