Ephesians 3:21 - for such a time as this - Where We Are Going... I m Not Trying to Be Difficult (it just comes naturally) You ve heard of a person who s an accident waiting to happen. Bad luck just seems to follow them around. And there are those who always wake up on the wrong side of the bed. That s because their bed doesn t have a right side. Being difficult and ornery and cantankerous does come easy to some people. It s as though they are gifted to be the fly in the Pastor Tom ointment. They are professional party poopers. Some people are as pleasant as a migraine. Being difficult does seem to come naturally to them. Bless their hearts. The church in Rome was instructed by St. Paul to, Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another distributing to the needs of the saints, giving to hospitality rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep be of the same mind toward one another have regard for good things in the sight of all men if it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
