Answering cruel words!
Dear Friends,
What should you do when met with cruel words? There are times when the
wisest thing is to ignore the words. But there are also times when the
wisest thing is to answer them and today’s attached devotional gives you
a good example of doing that. God bless you!
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Proverbs 26:5 (ESV)
Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own eyes.
George “Whitefield was invited to Boston by the Rev. Dr. Coleman, was warmly welcomed by almost all Bostonians, except a famous doctor of divinity, who met him in the streets, and said, ‘I am sorry to see you here;’ and to whom Whitefield quietly remarked, ‘So is the devil.'” [Whitefield Gold: Pure, Refined, compiled by Ray Comfort, (Gainesville, FL: Bridge-Logos, 2006), p. 158]
