    If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

Agree to Disagree

  • This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men; but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Titus 3:8-9 WEB.

    Years ago, I felt everyone needed to believe like me, and I could make a convincing argument about why. In bible college, we often had vigorous discussions about some petty point of doctrine. Yet, not once do I remember convincing anyone of anything except to avoid me when they saw me coming.

    Jesus told us to Love God and to love each other. Yet by large, we search out reasons to disagree. It is great to discuss things, but when you reach a point of disagreement and neither party will change their mind, move on to the next topic. It is OK to disagree. We are all wrong about something, and no one needs our approval to go to heaven. So be nice and be loving in your conversation.

    It has to sadden the Lord to see His people pointing their fingers at each other while the world looks on and laughs. We argue amongst ourselves like little spoiled children, accusing each other while the world goes to hell around us. Heresy has become anything we don't like.

    We don't have to agree on everything. Jesus is Lord. He died for our sins, He was resurrected, and by faith in Him, we are saved. If we can agree on these things, let us be happy and not seek reasons to disagree. Some people eat meat. Some do not. Some go to church on Sunday, and some do not. Some drink wine, while others do not. Some prefer dresses, and some do not.

    People don't have to agree with you to be saved because you are not God. In a family, the children may not agree or even like one another, but the parents love them all just the same. In the same way, God loves us all, even the people we don't like.

    So do yourself a favor today and just let the disagreement go. You don't have to be right. And if you are, you shouldn't be so insecure about what others think. If they are wrong, God will fix them sooner or later. Adding more words will usually broaden the gap between you and them every time. Let's agree to disagree.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me see the world through Your eyes. Speak to me and through me, and give me the grace to keep my mouth shut until the proper time. Give me wisdom and tact in my relationships. Guide my every step. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
