Rage and Name Calling

I deal continually with people who are enraged when we correct them, even to the point of calling us names.

We are not attacking their character, only addressing what they say they believe, but they are so full of themselves that they cannot stand to admit they may not be correct about something, or that someone does not fawn all over their ideas.

When we are secure in what we believe we do feel a need to become angry when someone else disagrees, we simply state our case. There is no name calling or demeaning attitude, only a discussion.

Keep looking up folks, the times is here when few will listen and most will hate us. That's alright, when we know it's coming we are less defensive and bolder.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"

Matthew 10:21-23 "…21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.…"
