Christians of all stripes need to get some tough hides. Too often, we, and that includes myself, cringe when confronted and stay silent.

I would suggest it’s a matter of practice. Get your gospel faith down square, say it from the heart. The bible doesn’t say never get angry. It says be angry but do not sin. Anything good you do will reflect the goodness of God in some manner.

In the Garden, God furnished Adam and Eve with leather garments in place of their attempted dress of fig leaves. That is recorded as a literal event, but that seems to have metaphorical meaning on top of that (that is often true of biblical events).

Grace is of mega importance in this picture. Grace means you don’t have to get everything perfect in order to make a telling point. Stop expecting perfection on earth, start expecting progress.
