21 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. (Romans 12:21 CSB)

We are to be conquerors.

Typically, being nice and kind helps to diffuse a heated situation. Furthermore, gentle words can calm the mind and assuage the heart.

We can conquer evil with good…most of the time this should be our direction.

However, there are times when we need to stand up and push back in righteous anger.

The difficulty is knowing when to use each. On a simple scale we should consider using good 99.99% of the time and only relying on righteous anger .01%.

We have many freedoms and we are meant to be conquerors. We must learn to use both wisely.
