However, after countless matches of argument, I realized that I have not won any of it actually. At time when I'm looking back at some of the arguments, I wish I've never enter into it at all and it bring hurt more than reconciliation. Simply I praised God for open my eyes of heart to see the truth now.
Lately, as the Facebook hype has gone into the sky and i have know of people who use Facebook to preach gospel and hence engage into a lot of arguments with those of other religious background. While, we who uphold the Grace of God knew that what we preach is the truth, the only way to everlasting life of abundance. But that doesn't mean we can or will win over them by won over an argument. Even thought we quote everything from bible. This is simply because we are talking about heaven and they talking about earth, two entirely different topic. How to win?
The ultimate thing that God revealed in the bible apart from being saved through the righteousness by faith is wisdom from God. it is the wisdom that God impart in our heart to deal or manage our daily life that include any decision we have to make concerning our life. Of course, how to preach the good news is certainly one of the area that we desperately need the wisdom of God to lead us into it.
This wisdom of God, the Lord called it "a discerning heart" . King Solomon has asked God for a discerning heart and God was so pleased He made King Solomon the most wealthier man on earth until today.
7 “Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” (1 King 3.7-9, NIV@2010)
