Quarrel

It is very easy for Christians to get caught up in foolish debates and lose control over our senses. St. Paul is pleading with us to try and not quarrel over the truth. It is the Holy Spirit that convicts a person of his shortcomings. We are called to gently instruct others in the knowledge of truth and the Holy Spirit will touch their lives and lead them to understanding.

2 Timothy 2:24-25
And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth.

Help us Lord to be patient with those who hold on to their obsessions which are cotrari to truth as we know and continue to pray for them to be convicted by the Holyspirit.
