Many of our churches have people that have been diagnosed with Offended Christian Disorder (OCD). Somewhere along the lines, someone convinced them that they had to be weak and take offense, to everything and everybody once they got saved. This tells me that they are not reading the word for themselves. Nowhere in the bible does God call for his people to be weak. However, throughout the bible is does speak about people being offended.
You can always tell the ones in the church that have OCD. They always quit and leave their position/assignment before time. They never consult with God to see what he has to say. They try to get a posse in the church to back them up. They never come and reason with the person they believe to have offended them.
Perhaps, you’re one of these people. Instead of stirring up mess because you’re offended; go to that person and try to reason with them. If they listen to you then you’ve won a brother, if they don’t listen, get one or two more people and go back. If they still refuse to listen go before the church, if they won’t listen to the church then they will be as a gentile and tax collector. This is the word of God.
If we settled all of our offenses like this, there would be far less people with OCD in the church.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
