I had a thing about this in marriage.
I had a young husband approach me one day and he said to me, he said, Pastor, how often should I be correcting my wife?
I said, well, brother, a lot less than you think.
I think that is safe to say.
You do triage or you're not going to be married for very long.
In the church, we do triage.
There are things that are worth fighting for.
There are things that are not worth fighting for, and that's not being a coward.
Paul tells Timothy in 1 Timothy 1, wage the good warfare.
Well, what warfare is worth waging?
What is worth contending for?
The faith is worth contending for.
This is of the utmost importance.
It is worth it for the unity of the church.
When you and I contend for the faith, we're actually maintaining unity in the church.
So I want you to think about this.
It isn't just our day and age that we're concerned with.
You and I belong to one holy, Catholic, and apostolic church.
