BULLIES are a strange lot. Typically when counseling a couple and the man is a bully, the familiar antics toward his wife or girlfriend eventually manifest. A wise counselor then would step in to say THAT will not happen here. The bully is always shocked when someone tells him “no”. It’s the nature of the bully to be loud, aggressive and egotistical. They will keep going till someone says STOP. Then in their cowardice, they turn everything around and put the blame on the innocent victim, making it their fault for his insensitivity and false bravado and venom. The bully then shows his true colors, weak and very cunning and manipulative. He unbelievably and irrationally often makes himself out to be the victim.

Scripture says “Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 82:3-4. Christians, stand up to bullIies and protect the weaker of our society. In doing so we are doing Christ’s work on earth the way He did by His constant demonstration of loving, protecting, healing the real victims of His day
