How To Deal With Offense: Your Questions On My Latest Sermon Answered | Learn more here: https://bit.ly/2WJSwZA I am deeply concerned by the offense that I see boiling over in the hearts of the Church today! In the midst of these tumultuous times, I feel it is extremely important to lay down our offenses, guard our hearts, and protect our innocence. It can be easy to take on bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness when our world is divided, personal opinions are loud, and the stakes feel high. But, how do you protect your innocence and deal with your offenses? You must tend to the garden of your heart. When offense, bitterness, entitlement, or unforgiveness take root in our heart weeds begin to grow. If you do not pull the weeds and tend to the garden of your heart, the fruit of your heart will wither and weeds of offense will grow over. I’d propose that one of our greatest responsibilities is to care for the health of our heart; to tend to the weeds of bitterness, offense, unforgiveness, and so on. The book of Proverbs says: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” I challenge you to consider the areas of your heart where weeds have grown over and need pulling today. Invite the Lord into those places and to heal your heart from the pain. Because this has been weighing on my heart, I recently shared a message with Bethel Church on a Sunday morning in regards to protecting our innocence and guarding our hearts from offense. In this video, I answer questions that arose from this sermon on protecting our innocence.
