Don't Be an Ass

As a Christian, is it more important to be right or to win the lost?

How do you know the difference?

Well if you are using scripture (the sword of the Spirit) in context and correctly like a surgeon rather than like an axe, you are probably working to win the lost.

If you get mad when opposed, then start throwing insults, you are obviously looking to be right.

So, what if you are right? Do you think Jesus is pleased with your proud and smug heart?

Sorry, no, He is not.

For years I have seen way to many “Christians” who are smug and only want to win the argument. There is no grace or kindness in their tone or words. No apparent interest in bringing a lost soul to the truth…only winning and feeling better than.

Sorry, but this is the core of Satanism, not pentagrams, ceremonies and the sacrificing of goats. Those things are meaningless. Now, hate, theft, murder, rudeness, insult and violence…they definitely serve the enemies goals.

John 8:39-47

39 They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did,

40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

41 You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.”

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.

43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

So, go ahead, be right, just don’t be an ass.
