I've heard it said that you can throw live lobsters in a lidless pot and none will escape because as one starts to get a little higher and pull ahead, a fellow lobster will pinch them and pull them back down. True or false? I don't really know. I do know I've heard it in stories over the years. Sounds like something a kettle of humans would do!!
It is quite the art to resist being offended, isn't it? It's
scriptural but it's a toughie!
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. (Ps.119:165)
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. (John 16:1)
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the walls of a castle. (Pro. 18:24)
Thoughts tomorrow on the most challenging aspect of Church membership....
Surviving being offended!
