Jeff’s message on bullying is rooted in Romans 12. The two steps of the “Peace Sign Approach” are based on the following scriptural teachings.
1. Don’t Get Upset – Be Emotionally Resilient
- “Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool.”
- “But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other check also.”
– Matthew 5:39
2. Treat Them Like a Friend – The Golden Rule
- “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
– Matthew 5:44 - “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” – Matthew 7:12
- “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” – Proverbs 15:1
