Episode 53: Mind Yo' Business!

Whenever we are faced with opposition and disagreements with other people, there is this moment when we have a choice on how that fight will impact our life. We can either seek reconciliation, vengeance or bitterness. Jesus gave us clear instructions in Matthew 7 how we are to handle disputes. There is power in seeing recognizing and fixing our own faults before we even think about pointing out the faults in someone else.

MAT 7:3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

EPH 4:26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
27 and do not give the devil a foothold.

ROM 12:20 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
