Life flows through the touch of Spirit to Spirit relationships. Let me show you something. In 2nd Timothy 2:24-26, we find an instruction to those of us who are servants of God. It says the servant of the Lord must not strive or argue. He must not get involved in an argument. In James 3:16 we learn that strife leads to confusion and every evil work. If you allow yourself to be drawn into an argument with somebody, you do not minister life to them. You have simply opened their lives up to confusion and every evil work. So it’s not only useless, but it is actually destructive for you to ever allow someone to suck you into an argument about the truths of the gospel. You will never win anything. You will lose because you will impart to that person confusion and every evil work. Furthermore, he’ll impart it to you as well. You’ll walk away from the conversation confused and attacked by evil. The servant of the Lord must not argue.
His, thus Yours,
Stuart

I see that this also applies to raising and communing with our children. Arguing is far from teaching and discipleship.
