Some people don\u2019t want truth; they want to pull you into a ring and make you swing till you\u2019re tired. Then you go home feeling you \u201cdefended the faith,\u201d yet nobody was rescued. You are not called to win debates; you are called to win souls. The Bible says, \u201cHe that winneth souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30 KJV).\u201d Wisdom knows when to speak, how to speak, and when to withdraw. If your mouth becomes hot and your spirit becomes rough, you have lost the atmosphere for conviction. A sinner may be wrong, but he is still a soul, not a punching bag. Don\u2019t let pride turn your witness into strife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Scripture says: \u201cThe servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.\u201d Notice it didn\u2019t say \u201cweak\u201d; it said gentle and patient. There is a way to speak truth that makes the heart open, and there is a way to speak truth that slams the door. Your goal is not to prove you are correct; your goal is to bring the man to repentance and faith. That is why it says, \u201cIn meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance.\u201d Meekness is not fear; it is controlled strength. And remember, repentance is God\u2019s work in the heart; your role is to present Christ clearly and create room for the Holy Ghost to convict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>When you insist on fighting, you push the Holy Ghost out and invite ego in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So practise wise witnessing. Learn to ask questions that expose the heart: \u201cIf you die today, where will you spend eternity?\u201d \u201cWhat do you think Jesus came to do?\u201d Let them talk, then bring the gospel straight: sin, judgement, Christ\u2019s death and resurrection, forgiveness, new life. If they keep dodging, don\u2019t chase arguments; return to the main matter: \u201cThis is not about winning talk; it\u2019s about your soul.\u201d If they become hostile, withdraw with honour: don\u2019t trade insults: and keep the door open: \u201cI\u2019m here when you\u2019re ready to talk sincerely.\u201d Then pray for them; intercession breaks what conversation cannot break. Wisdom doesn\u2019t just speak, wisdom rescues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Do I get drawn into debates and lose the soul\u2019s heart? How will I keep my next gospel conversation centred on Christ and still speak with meekness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote quote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>PRI\u00c8RE:<\/strong> <strong>Lord, make me wise and gentle.
