Conflict Between Landlording and 'Turn the Other Cheek' and Other Scriptures
Posted by JCL at 7:00 AM
Please note, I am not a 'legalistic Christian'... Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. However, because Christ has sacrificed so much for me, my heart-felt desire is to serve Him with as much excellence as I can - "run the race!" Serving Him is not bondage, but joy!
So, one issue I've grappled with as a Christ servant landlord is how to relate to tenants when things aren't going so well (i.e. they aren't paying rent, disturbing neighbors, etc) in the light of Christ's commandments like:
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. - Matt 5:44-45a
How should a Christ follower act when court action is needed (i.e. eviction)? I found this article on Christians and Lawsuits.
Discuss.
