DON’T TAKE THE BAIT

SERIES: BEWARE OF THE LITTLE THINGS
7/28/13

Jesus plainly tells us that it is impossible to go through life without having the opportunity to be offended. No matter how many times this subject is preached on, it seems to be a recurring problem in peoples lives. We listen and say “Amen” to the message, until we are the one that is offended. Then suddenly all that we have learned from the Bible seems to go out the door, and we deal with the offense in a fleshly, and ungodly way.

We are continuing our series based on Song of Sol 2:15, “it is the little foxes that ruin the vineyards.” Offense is one of those little foxes. One of those things that we don’t think are that serious. We try to minimize, ignore, or deny it, yet it carries grave consequences. Today, we want to talk about the reality of offence, the reasons for offence, the root of offence, the results of offence, and the remedy for offence.
