We are firstly to speak DIRECTLY to the person involved in the offence and NOT repeat (gossip) to others regarding the matter. “He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.” (Prov17:9) #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

HOW CONFRONT OFFENCES:
1. TALK to the other person INDIVIDUALLY – “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him ALONE…” Matt 18:15 #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

Offence begins as a SEED which produces a ROOT of bitterness that grows into a heart of offence - leading to resentment. Many are unaware that they've been ensnared by Satan, as a heart of offence is often untraceable at surface value. REFUSE OFFENCE! #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

Hebrews 12:14-15 - PURSUE PEACE with ALL people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

Offence is the TRAP of the devil to DIVIDE and CONQUER! "...that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him(the devil) to do his will.” 2Tim2:24-26 #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

Our deepest offences often come to from those closest to us. The bloodiest of wars have been CIVIL wars - Father against son, children against parents. #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

IF YOU HAVE CAUSED OFFENCE: “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you...First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Matt5:23-24 #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

IF YOU HAVE BEEN OFFENDED: "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother." Matt8:15 #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

We are NOT appointed to WRATH...1Thess5:9
We are called to RECONCILIATION...2Cor5:18-19 #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

[Bert Pretorius @BertPretorius]

Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us,” FORGIVE US - FORGIVE THEM! #OffenceMustFall @My3C_

Confronting racism is not about judging people but about addressing the skewed perspectives of moral systems. This is not a political issue but a moral one. We need God! #confrontingracism

[Lineo Burgess @Lineo_Shimmey]

Victimhood is not a virtue. Elavate your thinking. Stop burning and start building. Think for the next generation. Take responsibility. #confrontingracism

[The Retired Runner @TatendaChidora]

I value because you are a Value. @BertPretorius #ConfrontingRacism

[Charne Pretorius @CharnePretorius]

Proverbs 24:23 (AMP): These also are sayings of the wise: To discriminate and show partiality, having respect of persons in judging, is not good. #confrontingracism

[Charne Pretorius @CharnePretorius]

God created all the different colours of people all over the world. Though we look different on the outside we all were made in His image and it is His breath that sustains every living being. Uniquely and beautiful different! Divinely and deeply the same! #confrontingracism

[Lebo Mothoagae @LeboMothoagae]

Change your language! No “US” & “THEM” #ConfrontingRacism

@Thoko_Twala Tweeting the sense.

[Thokozile Twala @Thoko_Twala]

The issue is not about a specific race abusing another race, but humans abusing humans. We are all human and should treat each other as such. #ConfrontingRacism

[Charne Pretorius @CharnePretorius]

When I change everything around me changes. Be the change you want to see in the world! #confrontingracism

[Charne Pretorius @CharnePretorius]

What is the worth of words if not backed by a change of heart demonstrated by a transformed life? We are being called to God’s standard of inclusivity! #confrontingracism
