Love Your Enemies

 Love Your Enemies In one micro group that I am in, using The Essential Commandment  by Dr. Greg Ogden as the tool, we focused on Romans 12:20-21.  "Instead, if your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads. Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good."  We meet on Zoom each month across more than 3000 miles. What always continues to amaze me after over 10 years of being in micro groups is the awareness of new concepts. Some of us researched the origin of "heaping burning coals of shame" and others brought up boundaries in Chapter 11. Within 24 hours, two other resources I watched reinforced the principles, commands, and concepts we had reviewed. When God repeats, He gets my attention! Andy Stanley explains how some repay good for evil; others want revenge by repaying evil for evil; and yet others are remarkable by repaying good for evil.
