 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Titus 3:9

 Over the years I have learned to avoid conversations with people who are always argumentative, disruptive, and divisive. They have a secret agenda to make their voice heard, even if what comes from their mouth is untrue. They debate in such a way that eventually you will question your beliefs and thoughts on the matter being discussed.

 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words. Proverbs 23:9

 As a child of God, it’s important that you protect the integrity of your faith. Truth about your relationship with God through Jesus Christ comes through scriptures in the bible. That is why it’s so important to study up so you can protect the truth against those who seek to crumble the foundation of your faith. Satan oftentimes uses these so called “wise” people to bring division. I recall one time being in a conversation with someone and this argumentative person heard the conversation and decided to join in, only to divert the truth of a matter into more questions.

 The best thing to do with people like this is pray for them from a distance. God can and will deal with them as He sees the need. I recall in the bible Saul, who persecuted and killed Christians. His beliefs were way off base, but God confronted him and changed his life forever. Today, we read the many books he, Apostle Paul, wrote about the transforming power of Jesus Christ.  Who in the realm of your influence needs God’s intervention to straighten out their thinking and behavior? Pray for them today! God bless!
