Setting Emotional Boundaries
- Published Nov 26, 2018
We’ve all heard about erecting fences and other boundaries to protect what is rightfully ours to protect. But, what about emotional boundaries? Are you able to walk in such a way so as to keep yourself out of danger, and also ensure that others don’t bring danger into your life? Scripture teaches us more about this area of our life: “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say ‘no’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this age” (Titus 2:11-12). Do you know where you need to say ‘no’ and where to say ‘yes’ in order to live a self-controlled life?
