Arguments

Arguments, 2 Tim 2:23-26 (The Mirror Bible), “Avoid foolish questions that do not educate anyone but only breed quarrels. In your position as someone completely dedicated to the Lord there is no virtue in winning an argument but losing the person. I would much rather have you exhibit a sensitive courtesy towards all people; skillfully educate them and keep your cool under pressure. Your gentle way of instructing those who oppose you will inevitably lead them to see what God believes concerning them and give them the best possible chance to acknowledge the truth. And so they will escape the intoxicating influence of the fallen mindset and the enslaving dictates of the devil.”

Often arguments start because of fear — fear of not knowing, fear of being wrong, fear of being thought of in a lesser way. Disagreements aren’t always just a difference of opinion. You see, sometimes we learn things that are wrong but we believe we are right. So we don’t know we are wrong.

Let us take a different approach be gentle in our disagreements. Maybe we can learn something new … or learn more about someone.

Let’s be gentle and humble in our conversations. Nobody likes a know-it-all.

Proverbs 15:1 (TPT) “Respond gently when you are confronted and you’ll defuse the rage of another. Responding with sharp, cutting words will only make it worse. Don’t you know that being angry can ruin the testimony of even the wisest of men?”

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
