It's Ok To Be Right

When we engage people with the Gospel, doctrine, philosophy, politics, etc. it can be fun and it can also be a little intimidating if we feel we don't have all the details locked down. Some people avoid those discussions all together. Yet, religion (i.e. any belief system) and politics are where the ideas come from, that move the world forward.


Here at In The Cool Zone we want to provide a strategy to discuss these types of topics with a calm, cool and thoughtful demeanor. We even want to do this to the point of helping others remain calm and thoughtful as well.

Many of those ideas and techniques are found at ITCZ 101.

In the article, It's Ok To Be Wrong, we showed how one can eradicate the fear of being wrong. Especially, if we are engaging in conversations that have the potential to go sideways. With that, we also want to reinforce the idea that it's ok to be right, as well.

Yes! It's Ok To Be Right

As Christians we have so much material to read, study and discuss, we quickly realize that we cannot know everything. Yet, if you've told people about the Lord and your salvation, it doesn't take too long to get push back.

Remember, it's ok to be right about what you know. We can still be actively listening and learning while being sure of our salvation. We should always be seeking the truth and as we keep ourselves honest in our walk with the Lord, we are actively open minded and thoughtful.


Please note, that for everything we concretely know and can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt about the Lord, the bible, history, science... you can find a contradictory article online. Yep! Satan, isn't going to let the facts get in the way of him deceiving the world.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. - 1 Peter 5:8 NLT

We need to expect that our presentation of the truth is going to be met swiftly with a titlewave of lies. It's ok. There are ways to field those lies and get to a person's heart and deliver the Gospel.

Learn who the Lord is and what the Bible says about you. In Christ we are something different than we were before. Find out what that is. The answers are there. Develop a calm and cool demeanor and then go out and know what you know. It's ok to be right! :-)

Take Action!

How can I speak confidently about things I'm right on? 
You don't have to do it like anyone else does it but you have a new nature that you do not want to ignore. Know who you are in Christ. 
Here is the bonus. Do you want to make sharing for faith real easy? 
Fill your heart and mind with knowledge of the scriptures and grow in your obedience. You won't be able to stop talking about the wonderful salvation that you have in Jesus. :-)

Please, add your thoughts in the comment section.

Armor of God | Watchful Perseverance

Image
The armor of God has been a topic that has been difficult to get our minds wrapped around. What it is and how we put it on, has seemed to be a bit mysterious. So maybe by looking at the effect of the armor we can get a better understanding of how to put the armor on. We previously looked at  The Word of God , so let's take the next piece. We're leaving in,  The Effect of Armor,  section here for continuity. The Effect of Armor The most prominent place the armor of God is listed is in  Ephesians 6:14-18 NKJV .  Each piece of armor has an effect. Since it is spiritual armor, and we are physically oriented, it can be difficult to understand what is happening when we have it on. One of the things we know about armor is that once we are in the battle, we shouldn't have to think about the armor. It will passively protect us and we shouldn't have to give it another thought. We inspect, test and repair the armor on a regular basis and ensure it is fitted corr

Galvanize Your Heart

Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. What and how you think about life is extremely important. There is also another aspect of thinking that needs to be considered as well. That would be the priority of thinking. The scripture in Romans 12:2 NLT  does not ask us to change the way we feel. We need to change the way we think. Thinking is the part of your heart that the Lord is working on. So let's put a high priority on how we think. Pray. Think first. The emotions support and reinforce our resolve. The body gets us there and does the physical work. God is glorified. Think Like Jesus Thinks So what and how do we think? Have you ever noticed that when Jesus answered a question, he either asked another question back or answered the question they should have asked to find salvation? Jesus certainly did answer their question but more importantly He would first give another answer to a question they did not ask, but they should have. The q
