Temper

Nobody thinks of putting a bull in a china shop in order to get the china shop clean. Likewise no one can , by a display of bad temper, set right anything that is wrong in a church. The best way to set things right is not to make them more wrong than they are. Take care to speak the truth in love, especially when you are rebuking sin." C.H.Spurgeon
We often will think we will make someone believe our way of thinking on many things. If they don't we will argue them into submission. This hardly ever works. As I wrote yesterday, we are to do all things in love. If we see someone doing something wrong, we go to them in love and talk to them about it. If I go up to someone who is not a christian and the first thing I say is, your going to hell, we wont get very far. If you start to get in a heated argument with a brother, walk away. It doesn't matter if your right or not, it is better to keep the friendship and share with them at another time than never again. If we become angry with people and them with us, both of you will close yourself off to anything the other has to say. Even if that person is right we won't listen to them, and the same goes for the other person hearing anything we have to say. Be patient with people and never forget to give God time to do his will, we can not hurry him up, remember that.
