In my earlier years with the Lord I was far more willing to enter a scrap over Christianity.  I’m not sure if I was simply misguided or that I really enjoyed the battle.  Perhaps it was simply necessary to form the foundations of what I have today.  But he clearly teaches that once we have the understanding it is time to apply it.

I am not afraid of the banter that comes from the world.  But I take no joy in being witness to folly.  The bad thing is that those who argue against the Lord’s people do not perceive their error.  To them it is simply an argument among men about things that cannot be proven.  To me it is sad to witness their unbelief.

With all do hope I desire that the Lord bless all such encounters with the aim of teaching.  I will confess that I am still a novice, even after more than 20 years.

If you feel the same I wrote this to give you hope.  He is far greater than our weakness, and is not willing that any should perish.  Sometimes success is simply surviving with abiding peace to the next encounter.

By His Grace
