Trouble is the occasional threatening email.
Heart aches are emails that attack. They throw out accusations and condemnation (often using fowl language), leaving your spirit in disarray.
Cruel emails are hoaxes that call upon fear or pull at your heart strings.
Rude emails suppose you to appreciate suggestive pictures or language.
Difficult emails are those that question your every word, thought, or motive.
Shocking emails are ones wherein otherwise intelligent people send out chain letters, make promises they can't keep ~ like so many angels at your side, offers to grant wishes as if they were a genie, and use superstitious bad luck scare tactics.
Really Insulting emails are when the pics are totally nude and frontal.
Uncomfortable emails include the opposite sex flirting.
All of the above being Satan's antics; with intent to distract, discourage, and detour us from our calling... and, if he can't do that, then to destroy our credibility, testimony, and witness.
We've all made an occasional oops on forwarding an email. Let us learn from our mistakes, be a bit wiser, and consider... "What Kind of Email are You?"

Reach down and lift others up. It's the best exercise you can get.
Blowing out another's candle will not make yours shine brighter.
