Dealing With Offense
BY JOHN LYSAUGHT
Christians are frequently criticized for their faith . This may be directly or indirectly , mostly through mocking comments or hateful words . How we Christians face and respond to these attacks separate us from nonbelievers . Each Christian has and will face situations where offense will be taken by the comments or actions of others targeting our faith .
Our emotions can get the better of us in these moments . Do we become angry when we face this type of adversity ? Yes , especially when it is directed at us in a personal attack . Most of the time , sly remarks or disparaging comments are just brushed off
