Although the Bible teaches that we are to share with other Christians all that God has put on our hearts, it is important that we do so in a respectful and peaceful manner. At times we get so fired up about a particular subject that we forget Paul’s instructions were to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). When we are harsh or condescending with our words, they do nothing to teach or encourage others, but instead can cause another believer to harden his heart to the truth. When you share a Biblical truth, remember that your goal is to build up, not to tear down.
