Our days are few, better spent doing good than arguing over minor matters. In the past, people caused harm by debating insignificant issues, and our churches still struggle from conflicts over trivial points. These discussions rarely lead to wisdom or love and are like planting seeds in barren soil. Questions where Scripture is silent, mysteries belonging to God, unclear prophecies, and human ceremonies are all foolish. Wise people steer clear of them.

Our focus shouldn't be answering pointless questions but avoiding them. If we follow Paul's advice in Titus 3:8 to maintain good works, we'll be too busy with rewarding efforts to bother with meaningless disputes. However, there are important questions we should face: Do I believe in Jesus? Is my mind renewed? Am I walking by the Spirit, not the flesh? Am I growing in grace? Does my life reflect God's truth? Am I ready for the Lord's return, like a servant expecting their master?

What more can I do for Jesus? These questions demand our focus. If we've been prone to arguing, let's use our critical skills for more worthwhile pursuits. Let's strive to be peacemakers, guiding others by our words and actions to avoid foolish debates.
