Hello, and welcome to Amen podcast.

Today we are continuing our series and relationships

where I'm part three looking at verses eight through 16

and Philemon.

Yep, we're talking about drama in relationships.

How to handle it like Christ, we're going to read a little

bit, preach a little bit, read a little bit, preach a little

bit. Here we go.

Versus eight and nine.

Now I want to ask a favor of you.

I could demand it of you in the name of Christ because it is

the right thing for you to do.

But I love you and prefer just to ask you, I, Paul, an old man

now here in jail for the sake of Jesus Christ.

It's really hard to walk in love when you're in drama.

Drama makes you want to walk in anger and rage and hate.

And the world handles drama with getting loud, with getting

angry and mean.

And I was watching this little video of Mike Tyson in this guy

and the guy was like, if someone wrongs me, I just cut them off.

And Mike Tyson says to him, no, no, then the devil wins.

And Mike Tyson is really not even a Christian, but he's right.
