Fencing Off Your Offenses Proverbs 18:19 says, “A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle.” What does it mean to be offended and how is that different than unforgiveness?

Joel. God Wants To Give His Mercy And Grace, And To Pour Out His Love On All People. Series

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Nov 15, 2025
