I. THE LORD’S SERVANT
2 Timothy 2:23–25 (ESV) — 23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness.
II.
RESPONDING TO OPPONENTS
2 Timothy 2:23 (ESV) — 23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
Quarrelsomeness is verbal fighting.
Yes, we must be firm or forceful, but we must also “be kind to everyone,” even our enemies.
In brief, we should be Christlike.
Paul himself ministered like this, as he reminded the Thessalonians: “We were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children” (1 Thessalonians 2:7).[1]
