We found this man to be a troublemaker who is constantly stirring up riots - Acts 24:5
Bible repeatedly commands believers to use words to build others up rather than tear them down
Tertullus was a Jewish advocate before the Roman government and went out of his way to tear others down
He wanted to stop all the preaching about Jesus
Tertullus accused Paul of disturbing the peace throughout the Roman Empire
He intented to have Paul imprisioned or even killed
Before you say something about another person, ask yourself if you are tearing down or building up
