Defend the Faith, Not Foolishness

    As Christians, we have one ultimate responsibility: present the gospel of God through Jesus Christ. However, if we are not careful, we can spend time trying to answer questions and defend doctrines that are not essential to salvation. Paul warned Timothy against this,

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife. 2 Tim 2:23 (KJV)

So, the challenge on today is to examine our emphasis and focus. Do you spend time trying to explain things that will frustrate? Do you indulge foolish and crazy questions? Or do you defend the faith of Jesus Christ which is unchanging?

            Remember, we are not here to defend what we have a right to do or explain why things are as they are in the world. We are here to present men with the glorious gospel of Christ, which frees men from sin.

Prayer of the Week:

 I ask for boldness to stand up for the faith and avoid foolish debates. Help me to be an effective witness and example. Amen.”
