Bible Note: Dear Val, You wrote, "...does us no good..." Contending over the Word is always a healthy and Godly activity (Jude 3; Colossians 3:16; 1 Peter 4:10; James 5:19). Regardless of how you deal with my corrections, don't let any modern notions of amicability or mawkish propriety keep you from correcting me should I stray from a sound or complete exegesis. I need and desire the truth, the good stewardship of which I earnestly seek God's approval (2 Timothy 2:15). Therefore, if you love me, you will correct me (Proverbs 27:6; Romans 15:14). Remember, your exhortation bolsters me in the faith, helping me to resist sin's deceitfulness (Hebrews 3:12-13). You are part of God's equipping of me. In Him, Doc |
