DISPUTING OTHER BELIEFS

Our faith in Christ, expressed through preaching the Gospel and the total transformation of our lifestyle to that which pleases God, challenges other beliefs and religious ideologies; yet, declaring sound doctrine with love softens the hearts of many living in ignorance, for the Salvation of their souls, as they receive it by faith (Phil. 1:15-17). As we endeavor to fulfill the Great Commission, we need to avoid disputes as much as we can, "accepting the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions (Rom. 14:1)."
Moreover, being in a place where Christian Believers are not many, one needs to stay strong in the Spirit of God which gives life to each of the various parts of the mortal body preserved and kept in unity by having Christ's mind, as they preach in love, so the humble at heart may realize and *repent, even though stubbornly hardened hearts will always acknowledge it as contradictory to their understanding (Rom. 1:9, 1 Cor. 2:4, Pro. 3:7 & 8).

PRAYER: In Lord Jesus' Name, thank You, Ever-Gracious Father, for calling and anointing me to preach the Gospel of Salvation through the Holy Spirit who emboldens me. Please continue to lead, protect and direct me, even as I stay determined to spread Your Word to the reach of all, so hardened hearts may be softened to receive Your Love and be saved,
Amen.

From Acts 9:28-29
