How to Say Augustine, and What to Do About Chronic Interrupters

Don't quarrel about words. Do your best instead, since quarrelling is not it. We want to presentable before our Maker as unembarrassed workers, where handling of the truth is concerned. But that takes conscious, sustained, intentional effort. So don't get sucked into foolish, ignorant controversies. They lead to unnecessary conflict, and don't help anyone. But do be kind to everyone, able to patiently correct the folly and error of even your opponents, with gentleness. Don't be childish and immature in the way you think. Be mature in your thinking. Our God is not a God of chaos. He is a God of peace and order. So if someone is talking, and another one has something to say, let the first one who was talking be quiet and listen, so that everyone listening can be built up and edified by what is said.
