A word that has become more and more popular is "boundary." The word boundary means to set a limit with others, and minimize access. A boundary can be either emotional or physical. A boundary is similar to a fence that you put up to keep things out. Most Christians have a hard time setting boundaries when it's necessary. Instead, they al-low themselves to be manipulated. We all have certain people in our lives who continue to cross the line, and instead of addressing the behavior, we keep giving them slack and as a result we bear the consequences. God never tells us to condone wrong behavior!

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
