Part 1- One of the biggest tools of Satan against the Church is offense. He desires to divide, cripple, and conquer. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is a misnomer. Words along with deeds can cause much damage and deep scarring. Jesus gives incredible counsel, actually commands on how to deal with conflict resolution. This comes into effect especially with offense. We would do well to heed His words and resist the temptation of gossip, taking sides, and taking on someone else’s offense. A must for every Christian.
