DEFENDING THE FAITH
Precious Lord,
Help us to earnestly contend for the faith once for all delivered unto the saints. Let your children know that it is not unloving to confront error in regards to doctrine. Lord your word commands us to test the spirits to see if they're of God because many false prophets have gone into the world.
Not to confront error is disobedience. Although it's uncomfortable, we need to overcome our fear, and do what you have commanded. We must speak the truth in love, and not be concerned with the reaction of the person we're confronting as long as our motives are pure in our approach.
It's critical that we say the same thing the word of God says so that we're not leading people astray or being misled ourselves. Help the Church not to be lazy in studying to show themselves approved unto God, a worker that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.
