A man sees a couple conversing loudly. He confronts the antagonist. Words are exchanged. A gun is fired. The antagonist, a father is dead. As Christians, Jesus charged us to help our neighbors, the poor, and even strangers (Matt.25:35). In doing so we have to use our Godly ability to make right decisions. Know when to let it go. Two lives lost because neither man knew how to walk away. Being a Christian is complicated. Ego, pride and emotions can cloud our judgement. Our tongues can be like fire (Jas 3:1-6). Sparking chaos which could become harmful, even detrimental. In the heat of confrontation, take a minute and pause. Allow the Holy Spirit to intervene. Learn to walk away, even if you are right. Live to see another day.
