Word of the Day Espresso Shot
Word of the Day: Debate
Music choices. Instrument choices. The pastor’s outfit.
There are countless small debates in Christian circles and churches.
Satan would love nothing more than for Christians to get bogged down in those debates.
But as followers of Jesus, we must put aside those issues. We must look to God for answers and see things from a Kingdom point of view.
We must come together on the things that matter most, and stand up for Jesus in a world that is so quick to minimize Him.
Jesus is what we can all agree on— there’s no debate about that.
Today’s Challenge
Are you guilty of getting caught up in arguments that don’t ultimately matter? Commit today to focus on the things that truly matter in eternity.
Memory Verse
"Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:3

Going Deeper than a Venti
If you do find yourself in a situation in which you truly need to debate God’s truth with an unbeliever— it can be very difficult to know what to say and how to say it. You want to stand up for Jesus, but you also don’t want to offend or make someone angry.
