Unoffendable

We don't have the right to be offended.  Now before you object to that, hear me out.  I know everyone thinks, "Isn't taking offense normal?" or, "Isn't anger at sin justifiable?"  Yet the truth is, we aren't entitled to our anger.  The truth is, if Christians were the most "unoffendable" people on earth, the "righteous anger becomes a myth.  Giving up the "right" to become offended can be the most refreshing, relaxing, relieving, and encouraging thing that we do.
If you drop your anger, then self-centeredness yields to humility.  If you let things go, then energy will replace weariness.  Embrace forgiveness and let go of pride, and you might find that it is easier to love others more.  Some things might go against that idea, such as the Message paraphrase of the Bible, which changes the words in Ephesians 4:26.  The Message says, "You do well to be angry," which is nowhere to be found in the original version.  Brant Hansen wrote a book about this subject last year and it changes the way that we look at life if we choose to be unoffendable.  In the end, we will get angry.  That is part of being human.  However, when we do, we should get rid of the anger as soon as we can.  No anger, no offense.
