Christians love to discuss their differences. While I do think some differences need to be addressed, I think we spend way too much time and energy on these discussions. There is so much to do for the Kingdom that we can't afford to waste this time. At the end of this brief season we call life, God will not ask how many arguments we have won but how many souls we have won.

Believers accomplish little when arguing with one another. In discord, believers are not winning souls. Instead, they are distracted by other issues and may give a bad witness. Let's not over-emphasize our differences but join together and serve side by side. Let's be careful not to argue about differences. Instead, let's serve God alongside one another. John 13:35 reads, "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Life Lesson: Be careful what you argue about with another believer.

Dear God,
Help me to love the people You have placed around me in life. Help me not to argue and enter into strife with brothers and sisters. While there are some things worthy of argument, many things are not. Lord, please give me the wisdom to know the difference.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
