It takes a special anointing to share the TRUTH without being MEAN. Yes, we must stand firm on the word of God. We must preach the truth without compromise. BUT, no man or woman of God has the right to be rude and evil toward others.
We so often fight the wrong battles. My fight is against principalities, demons, spiritual wickedness in high places... it's NOT against people. My job is to literally love the hell out of those who miss God!
Does the truth hurt? Oftentimes, YES. The truth can be very painful. So, there's no need to add attitude and arrogance to the word of God, which is already sharper than any two-edged sword.
Ministry is not about arguing who's right or who's wrong. NO ONE is called to engage in vain arguments and label it "ministry." It's about SERVING God. Never in my life have I seen so many mean and arrogant servants. People of God, we must wake up. We are not drawing the world to Christ... we are pushing them away. We must follow the word of God in order to preach the word of God. When men see our GOOD WORKS, they will glorify our Father who's in heaven.
Where is the LOVE? Remember Jesus? He's our model. His message cut, but His love healed! ORDER IN THE CHURCH!
