We were on the way to church, enjoying the beautiful day the Lord provided, and as we travelled, I stopped off at a C-store to pick up some Peace Tea for my best friend. She really likes the peach and raspberry flavors!

So as I was away from the truck, she stumbled over a you tube short that spoke volumes to me.

I believe I have informed those who follow my blog that I am a reformed “know it all”. Give me a Bible teaching and I will argue it to the end, cutting and hacking the opponent until I am victorious! I needed to win! I was brutal, and thankfully I have been humbled, being exposed for the Pharisee I was. Thankfully the Lord’s mercy is pulling me out of this mud pit of a life style! What a mess!

Some of my posts may have this tendency in my spirit sneak through, and for that I ask for forgiveness if my approach or manner of communicating was not out of love. Of course if the Scripture offends you, you have bigger fish to fry than to be offended with me – who am I but someone who is trying to learn along side of others.

Back to the point of this post. I won bible arguments, and for some reason, thought I was “doing the Lord’s work”! The post my wife found for us is a short post of Nick Freitas.

It spoke volumes to me, realizing the untold opportunities I had squelched due to my argumentative nature and pride of self! Of the pain inflicted on others to make myself feel good. Shameful!

What think you?

Could it be that loosing an argument, or at least avoiding an argument may actually win people to Christ?
