Destroying arguments ≠ "stoking division" or "failing to love people"
The Bible commands Christians to do 2 things:
1) Love people (Mark )
2) Destroy arguments (2 Cor 10:5)
When you destroy arguments, you will be accused of "dividing people" or "hurting people."
When you love people, you will sometimes be accused of "coddling arguments."
If you love people, you will destroy the arguments that hurt them. If you've been enslaved by a lie, only the truth can set you free.
@RobertMSterling If you’re wondering what you can do to honor Charlie Kirk’s life, it’s simple.
Go to church tomorrow.
Look up a church that’s preaching the Bible and go there tomorrow. Take your whole family.
@larry2johnson@BenjaminSWatson I would assume part of his point is teachers unions are more prevalent in inner cities, and in general emphasize tenure/etc. over better quality education.
I’m not agreeing with his position to isolate inner cities solely, but it likely is more pervasive in those places.
Sin is less like potholes to avoid while driving and more like an enemy you’re fleeing in a car chase.
It’s not statically waiting for you, but actively and wickedly pursuing you.
Confess, repent, kill sin. Be alert. God’s glory + the freedom and joy of holiness are worth it!
