This last week a Tweet from Steven Furtick came over my iPhone… I re-tweeted it then, but wanted to share it again today.

“Don’t cater to the preferences of the easily offended. You’ll never satisfy them, and You’ll bore everybody else.”

Some thoughts:

• Most people that I have met and seemed to be “easily offended” about something were not offended a the “said offending thing” you did, but were more upset that their preferences were not upheld.
• Trying to keep these type of people happy should not be a goal. It will never happen anyway, no matter how hard you try.
• Don’t spend so much time and energy focusing on people that will never be happy.  Instead, focus your attention and energy on people that are really trying to take their next steps towards Jesus. These will be the people that will change the world and will stand behind you as a leader.

Any thoughts?
