What do you do when your kind helpfulness is taken for granted and you are met with unrealistic self-centred demands? It is a challenge to keep exercising grace in the way we ought and to act wisely. There clear stumbling blocks that make it easy to fall into bitterness and resentment as well as getting weary in well-doing. Relationships are easily strained and suspicion brought into the life of a congregation. It is natural to withdraw in hurt and irritation that allows the damage to remain on all sides. But how could we avoid it and seek the best spiritual interests of all concerned?

The Concerning Scandal podcast applies the biblical principles of avoiding spiritual harm by looking at the real-life scenarios in which stumbling blocks arise. We can use the spiritual wisdom of James Durham’s classic book in situations we are all too familiar with.

This podcast episode presents us with a real-life scenario that arises in the context of everyday relationships. We need to be on the watch for these kinds of situations. The fact that they are so ordinary can mean we are less on our guard against potential dangers. How do we both avoid being stumbled by the hurts that make resentment easy to bottle up? There are many other stumbling blocks that can impede how we exercise grace. This scenario can help us think about how to deal with those too.
