“Sometimes, It's Okay To Settle”

Categories: ENEMIES, GOVERNMENT, RELATIONSHIPS
     Greetings, brother; I am currently in a legal situation.  I would like some Scriptures to help me through this situation.

Sincerely,
Court Date

Dear Court Date,

Since we don’t know the specifics of your situation, we will point you toward the best legal advice the world has ever given and leave it at that.  In Matt 5:25-26, Jesus said that the best way to handle legal disputes is out of court.  This isn’t always possible, but if you can find compromise and agreement with your adversary before you stand before a judge, that is the best option.
