April 1ST 2020: reflecting on wise challenges I’ve instigated:

In talking with a woman who told me she used to be a Christian but is not now..
In this conversation I said the same thing. So why did she get angry? Ask her.  I didn’t back down (never do when I’m right) and told her she had no right to get mad at me because she said the same thing!

2 Timothy 4:2-4
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Once upon a time a co-worker (and manager) was verbally abusive to me regarding a private conversation. I returned a gift she’d given me and had nothing more to do with this abusive woman except business and praying for her soul.

2 Timothy 3:1-5
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,  treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

At church and in the ladies’ room a woman was speaking of Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and told me he needed to shave his beard! I corrected her twice until she shut up. God told me another woman who was there should have spoken up too!

2 Timothy 3:1-5
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,  treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
