Speaker, Author, Recording Artist, TV Host
We can all be difficult at times, but what are the characteristics of a truly difficult person? The Bible gives an excellent description in 2 Timothy 3:1–5. Paul says that difficult people are lovers of themselves and lovers of money. They are boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, and unholy. They are also unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, headstrong, and haughty. Rather than loving God, they are lovers of pleasure and have a form of godliness while denying its power. Know anyone who fits that description? We will discover Biblical ways to handle the difficult people we encounter
