Christian,
As you engage the culture, you are to share the truth. We bring lights to dark places. Your job is to be steeped in the word, ready to declare, “thus SAITH the Lord God Omnipotent.”
As hard as it is to grasp, scripture does not say that: FACTS WILL CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
The only reason you understand Gods truth, is because God gave you sight; FAITH. Had He not, you wouldn’t understand truth either.
Do not waste your energy wondering how the unregenerate do not understand your arguments.
Declare the truth. God is the one who illuminates them, not you.
We are to bring light, God will supply the salvation.
Be copious in Gods word, full, like a warehouse, your weapons aren’t 9mm or clubs, it’s the word of the Ancient of Days.
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, rather, show him his foolishness with the word.
Do you want to prove the point that a branch is straight rather than crooked? Don’t argue over it, find a straight edge and lay it next to the branch in question, there’s your answer.
The lost man will not agree with Gods word, even though the truth is BLATANTLY up in their crawl, until the Holy Spirit did what He did to you;
Ezekiel 36:26-27 KJV
[26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. …
Do this with all humility, and a cheerful heart.
And have fun!
You’re advancing the Kingdom of God!
