“Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone” (2 Timothy 2:23–24). Opinions? Everyone has one. Everyone thinks that their opinions are right. Some folks seem addicted to arguing; they spring at every opportunity to engage. This quarrelsome spirit does not belong in the hearts of the Ambassadors of Christ, and that is what we are. We do not win enemies over to His side by a quarrelsome spirit; we divide the body of Christ by the same. Cultivate understanding for another’s opinion and know that you do not always have to express yours, and further, you do not always have to be right or have the last word.
