Reading from: Numbers An 'af·front' is defined as -  an action or remark that causes outrage or offense.- We are living in a sensitive time, where people’s feelings are easily offended by not merely another person's action - but by the perception of an action, political affiliation, or perceived inherent traits and systems.- All of the adversities of today are striking at the root of the greatest matter ever-present before humanity - that is, bringing people to the saving knowledge of Jesus.-The affronts we face are distractions - I wonder if you can see it? It doesn’t mean that the matters at hand are not of grave importance - they are, but none are more valuable than the matter of the heart being reconciled back to God.
