Proverbs 14:7

Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. Proverbs 14:7

Walk away. It’s what we were always told to do. It’s what I’ve told my own children…..sometimes.

It takes self-control (Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control ) to walk away instead of saying something you’d regret. However, it’s also important to know when to walk away and when to stay and defend what you believe (1 Peter 3:15 and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you). I also remind my kids that if it is an adult, they have to be respectful and listen, honoring those in authority over them, whether they think they are right or not (Hebrews 13:17 Obey those who rule over you).
