If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be, as Poor Richard says, the greatest Prodigality. I get hate mail every once in a while but not even close to the good mail that I get. Most of my visitors tell me that they have been blessed by what God has taught me. I used to respond to the hate mail but no longer, it is a waste of time and I want to use my time wisely. There are many out there combating the restoration movement and the Lord has told me to ignore them and get on with His business.
Love takes time.
It is the old saying that it is unfair to have a war of wits with an unarmed person, the same goes with a spiritual discussion with one that denies the power of the fullness of the Holy Ghost . The Holy Spirit must be able to convince that person that he is ignorant . The more you say will just entrench them into their own way of thinking and they will try that much harder to find the words to combat you. Once you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit , it can no longer be denied. I am glad that Jesus baptized me the way He did.
