About this ebook
Matthew 24:1012 says, And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Offenses seem to be a sign of the coming of the Lord. In overwhelming numbers, Christians today are offended for one reason or another. God cant use an offended person. The church is filled with offended people who have been rendered useless. The progression of offense is:
1. Offense
2. Betrayal
3. Hatred
4. Deception by false prophets (usually those offended)
5. Love waxed cold
Offense is Satans choice of weapon during the twenty-first century. Once youre offended, Satan has the advantage over you, unless you become offense-proof. Our churches must become a place where people from all walks of life can feel welcome. No longer can churches allow denominational barriers and doctrinal dogmas to separate people. Our churches must become offense-free zones if we are to do the work of true ministry.
