You create an offense whenever your actions cause another person to foster resentment, have hurt feelings, or displeasure. I want you to be very careful not to cause others to be hurt by your actions.
Weigh very carefully your words if you are trying to rebuke or correct someone in the body of Christ. Words are containers and they can contain accusatory words. You do know who is the accuser of the brethren.
When you need to correct or rebuke someone in the body of Christ, make sure that you have scriptural basis for that correction, and make sure that you are not judging the motive in someone's heart. Only I do know the motive in the heart of another. Examine also your motive as you rebuke or correct a brother. Are you rebuking in love or are you being legalistic? Allow Me to examine your heart, and always ask Me what I would do in such a situation where rebuke or correction might be necessary.
1 TIMOTHY 5:1, 10; 2 TIMOTHY 4:2

SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING
Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.
My Blog will cover three subjects:
WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.
WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.
At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.
FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.
MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -

I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.
