Therefore I always exercise and discipline myself (mortifying my body, deadening my carnal affections, bodily appetites, and worldly desires, endeavoring in all respects) to have a clear (unshaken, blameless) conscience, void of offense toward God and toward men. Acts 24:16 Amplified Bible So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value (recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences), and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless (so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach) the day of Christ (not stumbling nor causing others to stumble). Philippians 1:10 Amplified Bible God, who is love, cannot operate where there is offense. Recognize when the enemy is trying to cause you to get offended by the actions and words of other people or pressuring you in ways that cause you to be offensive. To be offensive is to dishonor, humiliate, put down, insult, disrespect, ridicule or hurt. Learning how to avoid allowing yourself to get offended and not offending others will enable you to live a life of greater victory and joy.
