MESSAGE
There is always an urge to prove to your mates that you are knowledgeable in a topic. However, you need to know when to stop so that things do not escalate into arguments or further lead to insults and fights. If you are having a conversation and you notice that it is turning into a heated banter, please look for every means to end it and walk away. The Bible says that we should not argue with people, especially over simple matters that are meaningless. Christians are to be loving, kind, humble, and respectful to others. You can engage in conversations without stirring up other people.
At times, you will be tempted to argue with unbelievers or other believers in defense of your faith. This is a trap that you must never fall into. If you must talk, state your points, back them up with Bible passages, and keep silent. Do not try to defend Christ by arguing with others. If Jesus Christ didn’t defend Himself by arguing with Pilate and the council when He was convicted of a crime, why should you try to defend Him?
KEY POINT:
Rather than argue with people, state your points respectfully and hold your peace.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 18:1-46 Acts 11:1-30
HYMN 7 – Wonderful Story Of Love
1. Wonderful story of love!
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love!
Wake the immortal strain.
Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, O won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love!
REFRAIN:
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!
2. Wonderful story of love!
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love!
Still he doth call today.
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation;
Wonderful story of love!
3. Wonderful story of love!
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love!
For all the pure and blest;
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus;
Wonderful story of love!
