Don’t be a Bully: Proverbs 3:30
“30) Do not contend with a man without cause, if a he has done you no harm.” Proverbs 3:30
This is really good advice. Be a peace maker and not a bully. If you walk around with a hair trigger, you will end up in many gun fights. Eventually you will loose.
For the Christian, agape love overlooks a transgression. We have no excuse to be irritable or snappy. Never forget, the person you are contentious toward is your mission field.
1 Peter 3:13-15 nails this issue for the Christian; “13) Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? 14) But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, 15) but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;” Daily Bible Commentary By Terry Baxter: Cofounder of GoServ Global
