Being offended too easily?

 It seems like people today get offended very easily. College students are upset over "microaggressions" and having even minor differences of opinion is too much! Don't express them! The boat can't tolerate being rocked.

 "A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of evil devices is hated." (Pro 14:17)  It's not good to get angry quickly, but it's also not good to get easily offended and upset.  Jesus, after all, didn't display hypersensitivity. As Christians, we show unity with one another by not being easily offended, and toward those outside of Christ we should have incredible patience. :) 

What if people get angry at my Christianity?

If you love people, you are going to be attacked for speaking truth, no matter how gently you speak it.  I've seen it happen, and I've been one of the aggressors myself. In Acts 7, Stephen spoke the truth, and the reaction he immediately got from those listening was, "But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse." (57)

Ever seen that happen? People refuse to listen? They ignore what you say, maybe cover their ears in a way, and attack you? In the end they attacked Stephen and,  "having fallen to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he died." (60)

Expect to be attacked, even by God's own people at times, if you speak the truth. But no matter how vicious, use it as a chance to show Christ's very character—one of mercy, pity, and grace.
