Welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

Hey everybody, this is the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren.

We're so glad that you've joined us.

Today we're bringing our series called Talking About Stuff That Matters to a close.

In this series, Rick's looked into the scriptures and unpacked what it means to live in community,

have real conversation about what matters most, and face discouragement with courage and

faith.

It's honest and hopeful.

So please stay tuned.

You won't want to miss a second.

And now the final part of a message called When You're Harassed and Bullied.

Number four, when you have a bully in your life, respond positively.

Respond positively. This is the faith step. You say, well, Rick, how in the world do I respond positively?

Well, let's look at a couple of verses.

Romans chapter 12, verse 21, says this, do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

That's how you be positive.

You don't overcome evil with more evil. You don't fight darkness with darkness.

You fight darkness with light.

You fight hatred with love.

You fight unkindness with kindness.

You don't be overcome by evil, but you overcome evil with good.

The next verse even gets a little bit more specific.
