In my scripture reading this morning I came across this passage in 1 Timothy and felt not only a tinge of sadness, but also a wave of despair over our lack of love and unity in the Body of Christ.
Again, I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant agruments that only starts fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. (1 Timothy 2: 23-25)
If only we were more obedient……
Blessings,
