The Issues of Life with Dr. David Shamenda

The problem now becomes about what you see, missing the beauty and the things that God wants you to see. Once offense attaches itself to your vision, you become bombarded by everything you see. You begin to see things as if they are something they are not. Every post, every picture, every action is something that you see as a direct attack against you.

It will be proper to consider the principles of those offenses that hinder the propagation of the gospel of truth and the wrongs that interfere with relationships with people around you. Divisions, contentions, and animosities among Christians, arising from pride, a desire for dominion, and building matters of an uncertain nature and human invention upon Christ's foundation.

When offense takes root, your mind is the first place it's coming after. The moment offense attaches itself to your mind, the ability to have clarity and peace is diminished, as everything now becomes about feeding every thought that is only directed at the hurt through offense.
