0:00.0 | All right, welcome. This is the Friday, Q&A. My name is Mike Winger and I'm here to answer |
0:10.0 | your questions with the counter behind me. The first question we're doing today and hopefully |
0:15.6 | to give you a biblical answer to these questions is from Susie Ann Stapper who asks a very challenging |
0:20.0 | question that I think we all understand. Hi, Mike. How can I overcome bitterness and negativity? |
0:27.0 | I've been disappointed in friends, family, and church people, which she puts in quote, a lot. |
0:33.0 | And I've found out it has been a, excuse me, she says I've been disappointed in family, |
0:39.0 | friends, and quote, church people a lot. And I found out it has a big impact in my life. |

1:26.0 | This passage deals with the issue of how we respond to those who've hurt us and wounded us. |
1:32.0 | And it gives us some, I think, some psychological help for the issue of our own bitterness. |
1:39.0 | So let's look at it in detail. Here we are. It says, repay no one evil for evil, |
1:44.0 | but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. |
1:47.0 | If possible, so far as it depends on you live peaceably with all, beloved, never avenge yourselves. |
1:53.0 | But leave it to the wrath of God. For it is written, vengeance is mine. I will repay, says the Lord. |
