What Offends You?

“A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.” – Proverbs 18:19 My question today is: What offends you? You might not expect it, but animals can offend. Picture this: a man walks into a tool shop while a dog waits in a nearby truck, windows slightly down. As the man passes, the dog suddenly barks—BA, BA, BA, BA! Startled, the man recoils and shouts, “You stupid dog, I’ll kill you!” Imagine being offended by a dog simply behaving like a dog. Here’s some good advice: don’t get mad at dogs for being dogs, pigs for being pigs, scorpions for being scorpions, birds for being birds, chickens for being chickens, or eagles for being eagles. They’re just animals, after all. Here’s something you’d think no one could possibly be offended by: a car. Just a car sitting there, no driver
