I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about physical security.

dir="ltr"> "Offense" is something TAKEN. No one MAKES anyone feel anything. IF we are offended by something, we CHOSE to be offended by it...
But I think that OFTEN, people confuse discussion with fighting. Disagreeing is not personal, it is not an attack, it is not disrespectful or flaming, it is not offensive per se. It ONLY means, "I disagree." Nothing more. Nothing less. It suggests NO emotional response whatsoever.

I agree, to seek God and accept Christ into your heart is to find satisfaction, joy, respect. You can also find a lot of advice on how to be satisfied in Proverbs. 
"He who seeks good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it." Prov. 11:27
"A generous man will prosper; he who refreshs others will himself be refreshed" Prov 11:25
"He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgement." prov 12:11 |

As for the lock on your door, God gave us brains to think with, and in many places a lock on our door is sensible. But a lock on our door only protects us for the moment, whereas God is with us day and night. I say this with love, luke. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ. | | |
