If We Don’t Love, We Won’t Last
Overcoming Offenses in the Church
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21)
When Paul wrote these words to the members of a small church in Rome, he wasn’t merely imparting some sage advice. He wasn’t merely trying to inspire them with a platitudinal ideal to shoot for. These words came stained with the blood and tears of spiritual trench warfare. Paul was telling the precious saints in this church how to stay alive in an evil world. For if churches don’t overcome evil with good, they won’t survive.
