Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The enemy’s most deadly and deceptive trap is the offense trap. It severs relationships, widens the existing breaches between us, and handicaps us from fulfilling our full potential. #2 The Greek word skand-alon, which is used to describe the offense of Luke 17:1, originally referred to the part of the trap to which the bait was attached. It is used in the New Testament to describe an entrapment used by the enemy. #3 When we are offended, we fall into one of two categories: those who have been treated unjustly and those who believe they have been treated unjustly. The latter category is made up of people who have been wronged, but their understanding is darkened because their assumptions are inaccurate or their information is accurate but their conclusion is distorted. #4 The enemy keeps you in an offended state by keeping the offense hidden, cloaked with pride. Pride keeps you from admitting your true condition. It distorts your vision. You never change when you believe everything is fine.
