Today, Pastor Richie reminds us that it’s not always best to defend ourselves against people’s claims – even if we know we’re in the right. While this is extraordinarily countercultural, it’s what Jesus demonstrated for us. He remained silent when Jesus withstood trial and was presented with many false accusations. Just because we can fight back rightly doesn’t make it the most loving thing to do. Our mission isn’t to get everything we think we deserve – it’s to serve Jesus by loving a broken world.
