Offended By Everything

I can only speak for me but it seems that our world is so angry. Just plain mad about everything. As I've followed the news in recent months I've learned that people are offended by everything. Every word spoken or step taken offends somebody. What gets to me the most is that the things that should offend us don't and everything else does. I believe there are things that should offend us but I also believe that we shouldn't be so easily offended over every little thing. I'm offended that a disgruntled former employee walks up and shoots and kills a reporter and cameraman while there doing their jobs on live television. Anymore there seems to be a senseless shooting almost daily and they all offend me. My point is that there are definitely things that should offend us, but not every little thing. The Bible says that love "is not easily angered." (I Cor.13:5) The person who honestly practices love is not offended over every little thing. "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."(James 1:19) Let's take a stand when necessary but let's not be offended by every little thing.
