I read the article, and then I thought about how Jesus ministered upon this earth. I don't feel arguing with a person regarding Christ will be a benefit for the Kingdom.
It is the Holy Spirit who convicts, not man. Arguing doesn't bless,love through the Holy Spirit does. We have to remember, the lost don't know they are lost. It is up to us to evangelize the world and then the Holy Spirit will show them the Truth.
God bless,

This looks like a good article with something I am struggling with which is debate. Not how to do it per se, but moreover, what's the point ? Been on blogs lately like newsvine, berean and even crosswalk's blog. Invariably things turn unto a debate or argument. I think there is a huge difference between debate/argumentation and persuasion. I am for the latter, and for the former I am ready to dump it. It becomes an exercise in "one up mans ship" and somehow getting across that what you know is more than what others know. This turns into an ego-feeder rather quickly for me. I'll read the article, maybe it will help me in this...as for blogs, I am ready to dump them as a place of persuasion..... rofaith

I was impressed with the article until he referenced a particular person who was writing a book on humility. Knowing the ministry and history of the ministry of that person it turned me off to the rest of the article. He should check his references before using them in an article. Another thing the world is not hostile to truth. This implies they know what truth is and are against it. The fact is they have no reference point for 'truth.' The definition does not exist nor do they care. Maybe a good Francis Schaeffer read would hlep the author. A fairly decent article. I hope in all humility the author will allow me some grace in my perspective.
