Many times in my bid to reach out to people who once had their "Faith" but someway along the line lost it, and they begin to quote the bible with the 'explanations' that they have which sometimes do not shed light on the passage, as I'm trying to explain, I might get a little impatient if the person argues 'blindly' with me.
I am sure some of us can relate with this especially we that Christ is taking us "anger management" classes. *laugs*
Well here is something I need to make us understand...
The bible says ... "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Col 4:6
All Christians hope to share the Gospel when an opportunity arises, but before we speak the words of God, we must be sure to speak plainly. The Bibleinstructs believers to judge their speech wisely, and be quick to listen (James 1:19). We must not assume everyone understands our terminology, nor should we lambast them for their misunderstandings. Instead, let us engage the secular world by speaking clearly and honestly. Jesus does not need our embellishment, He only requires our desire to serve.
“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.” –Psalm 19:14
