Angus points out that there is a difference between flattery and encouragement. Flattery is not good for us because it feeds our ego and makes us think that we are great, when the truth is that we are nothing without Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:12 teaches us to be careful of thinking that we are standing on our own when in fact, without Jesus, we are in danger of falling. So always be truthful and encourage someone to greater heights but never flatter them with empty words.
