A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger -Prov. 15:1.
Sometimes we disagree with someone and we use great emphasis when stating our disagreement. There are people who know to express their disagreement only through violence. It is important for everyone to know and practise the way most know how to express themselves when they disagree - remaining calm. If one person from the group of few who don't know how to, learns and begins to put this method into practice it will be well worth the trial.
We are familiar with the term, "If the majority who know better does nothing to cancel the actions of the minority who don't, then it is just as bad as doing those negative actions along with the minority." Another popular saying is, "The negative actions of the few are so 'loud' they're drowning out the positive actions of the many."
We need to teach by our actions. Start with a soft answer that turns away wrath before the harsh word we expect from these persons which will definitely stir up anger.
Prayer: Give us wisdom we pray Father, to teach those who need to be taught, how to dissolve conflicts even before they start, by example and any other way available to us. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN!!!
Encouragement: Do something to help someone by looking beyond faults and seeing needs.
