There’s a classic saying that we tell children that says, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. There is some Biblical truth to that statement because we see in the Beatitudes that we are called to be meek. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches that when we are quick to react against an offense, it does two things: it makes us always be on the defensive, but it also shows our enemies where we are weak. And in this world, we must be strong and steadfast in our faith.
