And in many cases this is false. Some turn to false accusations such as their opponent’s lack of humility, meekness and agape love, because they themselves refuse to study the Word of God and defend their “false” position(s) (or have studied the Word of God with the incorrect hermeneutic and come up lacking). In addition, they have no knowledge of what the terms (humility, meekness, and love) actually even mean (in a biblical sense). If one is meek and humble before the LORD then he will also be bold and share the truth. Most of the time truth can be shared calmly, but at other times--it can't! A mother who is seeing her child about to drink some Drano doesn’t calmly sit by and just let it happen if she loves her child!!! She in tough love will slap the child’s hand and grab the poison to save the child. She realizes a temporary sting is better than a dead child. How much more dangerous is false doctrine—the doctrine of devils (1 Tim 4:1). Doctrine and its defense are important and at times it takes different methods to get the truth across (1 Tim 4:6, 13; 1:3; 5:17). While the Word of God says in 2 Timothy 2:25 “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth,” many fail to fully understand and discern what the term “meekness” really means. So what do you think meekness means (in a biblical sense)? D. Webster once stated; If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, and the people do not become religious, I do not know what is to become of us as a nation. If the truth be not diffused, error will be; if God and his Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy; if the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; if the power of the Gospel is not felt through the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation and end. Look at what books called Christian are circulating now and look at the state of the world! There is an urgent call today for truth.
Reformed and Always Reforming,
