Timothy 2: 23 - 24
23 Have nothing to do
with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the Lord's
servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone...
Misunderstandings in the church, and in the workplace are
pretty common.
Trust me on this one!
This weakness affects quite a few people...me included.
When we come across something that doesn’t make sense at
first, it can take more time than we care to invest, to bring about clarity.
An emotional response doesn’t seem to get people any closer
to solving the problem.
Getting frustrated never seems to work.
And then I read a verse in the Bible like this one, and it
says I’m not supposed to become quarrelsome.
But let’s wait a second here, I think we’re not supposed to
address foolish or ignorant issues, that could lead to a quarrel.
Now I feel a little bit better.
What good is it to have dialog with someone about something
foolish or ignorant? There are some important issues going on in the church
that we should address first.
I’m not supposed to strive to have an argument.
Actually, I’m supposed to be kind.
I think I just learned something about myself this morning.
How about you?
