May you never be a Christian who utters such words without seeking to understand first. May you question the heart and motive of any person whoever utters such words, especially if it is the reason given for someone leaving a church. 

Do not be easily beguiled. Ask for the full story. You will be surprised to find that ”offence” is not a contagious airborne disease. People actually do things to others and instead of just apologising - it is easier to paint the other person as offended. 

Yes, Jesus is The Rock of Offence but His mandate is not to offend. His mandate was the gospel and offence was the result of being confronted in truth. Did I mention truth IN LOVE? 

When you hurt someone - apologise. God loves his other children too. 😉
