On today’s Musings with Marnie, Marnie Wells from Gilead’s Balm joined Lori to talk about how to deal with offense. They started off talking about how we’ve all been offended or have offended others. Marnie then shared a blog about offense, and challenged us to consider where we might get easily offended.
Next, they talked about the importance of praying through offense to gain wisdom and draw new boundary lines for our life. Then Marnie shared a troubling dream about it, where God taught her a valuable lesson. She also told us the story of Stephen in Scripture and how he modeled the right way.
They continued the conversation about God being in the restoration business, not the punishment business. Marnie told us how David prayed for God to create in him a clean heart and renew a right spirit within him, that he might teach transgressors God’s ways. Finally, they mentioned the responsibility of elders, or the mature in spirit, to model the kingdom way that gives us peace. Listen in and hear more about it.
