Why Disagreeing with Someone Shouldn’t Turn Into Hate

The more our ministry has grown the more hate comments and bullying type comments we’ve received.

Bullying and speaking in hateful ways seems to be the new trend. 

If you disagree with someone these days, it’s totally acceptable to hate on them. We, as Christian young women, need to learn how to disagree without hating.

The two of us want to challenge you to a higher standard. Whether it’s in person, online, with a friend, or towards a stranger, allow these verses to filter your words.

Ephesians 4:29-32 (NLT) 

“Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
