Side stepping

When a person attacts and does not listen to reason do not try to reason with that person rather step aside and not respond as the only way a dicussion can generate is to respond. For a fight to occur then a second punch has to come from a second person otherwise itis onle assult. Let us not respond to those who harm us rather choose not to be harmed and pray for them.
I have been readin "Power and Poise" by E Stanley Jones as our daily devotional for the past year and this is what we are looking at at the present time. Relavent for the moment!
Love and prayers from tomorrow

Not avoiding

September 8 2006, 6:09 AM 

I do not believe that giving those who battle with us rime to fight by responding is avoiding rather it is disarming them and concentrating on oue mesage not responding to theirs. Look hoq Christ handled the interogation by Pilot, Pi;ot complained about him not answering him and rorally put pi;ot in an uncomfortable situation. Let us do the same.

Turning your cheek

September 8 2006, 9:17 AM 

If I am understanding you correctly, you are just proposing turning your cheek to the attack.

This is the example that Jesus provided during His "trial" just prior to the cucifixion (hope I spelled that right)
