Offended and Angry

Offended and Angry

Scripture: James 1:19-20

Let’s be honest: it doesn’t take much to get under our skin these days. A snarky comment online, a headline that hits too close to home, or someone cutting you off in traffic—it’s like the world is handing out free offenses. But what if we didn’t take the bait? What if, instead of reacting, we responded with something unexpected—grace, patience, even love? The Other Cheek is all about that choice. It’s not about being passive or pretending things don’t hurt. It’s about learning a better way to deal with conflict, one that reflects the heart of Jesus and leads to real peace.
