Three Tips to Tone It Down and Focus on Feeding the Sheep
1. Don’t self-promote like a restaurant always spouting off how they are the best in town. Choose, instead, to feed the people and let God vindicate.
2. Don’t shoot everything that is different from you. Win people with the Word. Don’t alienate with arrogance. It is God who justifies.
3. People are pragmatists. They don’t care about the counseling wars. They want help, so help them. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-30-shouldnt-make-big-deal-biblical-counseling/

Focus on the Cause, not the Effect, so you can remove the cause and not be affected by the effect.
A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.
Worship is part of what it means to be image-bearers. Who could do otherwise? The better question is, “What or whom do we worship?” https://lifeovercoffee.com/three-characteristics-of-a-fantastic-local-church/
Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.
Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/
