Encounter God’s Heart...
Promote Encouragement

It’s safe to say that over the last few years, we have all been pulled into meaningless arguments at one point or another. The world is full of very loud and divided opinions. This is true in the church, as well. Let’s make sure we keep first things first and follow the wisdom of God, as given through his Word.

Where we have used our words to tear others down, may we redirect our focus. We may need to ask for forgiveness. We may need to reconcile with those from whom we have distanced ourselves. We may need to forgive others. Instead of using words to get our own ideas across, let’s use our words to uplift, encourage, and love one another well. What a difference it would make if we did.

Loving Lord, I know that there is so much mercy in your presence. There is so much grace and forgiveness. You don’t use your Word to belittle others but to uplift them. I want to do the same. Your love is all that matters.

From "Wrapped in Christ" written by Brian Simmons

2 Timothy 2:14
The Passion Translation

Be committed to teach the believers all these things when you are with them in the presence of the Lord. Instruct them to never be drawn into meaningless arguments, or tear each other down with useless words that only harm others.
