A man of God must be confident in Christ and His commands enough to go forward in faith and humble enough to pause when godly men call him into question.
The man who ignores good counsel comes to resent all counsel accept that which already agrees with what he has decided to do. And the longer he does this the harder it gets to go back and the closer he gets to game over.
Proverbs 29:1
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck,
shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
Paperclips do not break because they get too soft, they break because they get too hard. The bend because they are soft, they break because they are hardened.
The same can be said for me. They bend because they are soft and if the compromise too many times they become hardened to purity and snap like an overworked paperclip.
