Cheryl,

That “friendly fire” you mentioned has been one of the hardest lessons for me to learn. I can take (and have taken) outrageous insults from unbelievers without a problem, but when it comes from professing Christians it has a sting all its own. It’s like being disowned by your parents or betrayed by your siblings. We expect it from the lost but not the saved, who sometimes seem so filled with hatred that we have to strain to see any reflection of Jesus in them. But Jesus did say that our enemies would come from our own homes.
