Description

Keep Your Balance

It is easy to take this command out of context and apply it in ways that are both unwise and unbiblical. God is not instructing us to turn our cheeks to anyone who wants to slap them, nor to give our coats or money to anyone who asks for them, or even to "go a second mile" for anyone who commands us to do it.
