Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned. (Titus 3:10-11 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, everyone makes mistakes, but a pattern of behavior indicates a lifestyle. Give me discernment to recognize the difference between those who are struggling and those who, given the opportunity, will continue to be divisive and troublesome because they choose to be so. I am willing to help anyone–but if I need to walk away from someone, give me the courage and resolve to do it and not look back. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
