Passage of the Day - January 12, 2011

Acts 19:8-10

⁸And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.

 ⁹But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

 ¹⁰This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

There is no point in arguing with someone who speaks evil of Christ, especially in front of others.  No good can come from it.  We are called to share and discuss with non-believers and come to the defense of the gospel, but not arguing with those who speak evil of Christ.  We must remember the whole point of life is to get God glorified, not blasphemed.
