Able To Teach
Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments,
because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be
quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them
repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil,
who has taken them captive to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:23-26
When we hear about atheists trying to remove crosses or the Ten
Commandments from society, it is easy to respond to their hatred of God with
our own hatred. But we are exhorted to defend the truth with an attitude of
love.
The next time you see the works or hear the words of a hater of
God, do an attitude check. Then ask God for a spirit
of humility and pray that the offender might come to the knowledge of the
truth.
Defend the truth with love.
