It is essential to be resilient in a world full of blame. You must be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. Thus, it is necessary to reject this culture of blame. This is because, in a biblical sense, there is no difference between blame and a curse. So, when dealing with people, we must experience love beyond the normal and wrestle with them. "Come out from among them and be ye separate," says the Lord. When you experience anger, it is always due to a misunderstanding of forgiveness. The two types of anger are sinful anger and righteous indignation. Righteous indignation is when you are angry for the right reasons, such as when you see someone being treated unjustly. Sinful anger is when you are angry for the wrong reasons, such as when you are angry at God. The hardest cases to deal with when it comes to anger are from self-righteous people. These are people who do not seek forgiveness through God's covenant love alone, but instead try to earn it through their own good deeds. Any reaction we have to the world around us is a form of communication about our opinion of God. For example, if we live in a state of forgiveness, that communicates something positive about our opinion of God. However, if we live in a state of blame, that communicates something negative about our opinion of God. Either way, it is important to remember that a curse is like touching a dead corpse - it is a misunderstanding of forgiveness that leads to death.
