Re-Posted from "Meditations of a Charismatic Calvinist Who Does Not Speak in Tongues"
How should a Christian face opposition? We should face it boldly
(Ephesians 6:19,20; Philippians 2:15,16; Hebrews 13:6), but with love
and gentleness (1 Peter 3:15; 2 Timothy 2:24-26; Colossians 4:5,6). How
do we achieve this combination? We need to have confidence in God
(Proverbs 3:5,6; Psalms 127:1,2; 2 Corinthians 2:14), but an awareness
of our own inadequacy (2 Corinthians 3:5,6; Romans 12:3; John 15:5). But
it also helps not to be surprised by the existence of opposition, as
Scripture promises it will occur (John 15:18-21; 16:1-4; 2 Timothy
3:12). Therefore, we should not react in shock, but in firm and loving
admonishment. Being confident in God, who will win in the end.
