A thunder puppy can’t wait to tell the world what is right and what is wrong, without the wisdom of experience. Seeing things as black and white (it’s even worse when it IS b & w), he pounces on FB, flashing, slashing his sword through arguments ready to kill the argument, and if the person dies with it… well… they probably deserved it.
In the end, the believer has pushed someone away from the kingdom truth that he preached. He was right about his proposition but has not a seasoned and winsome approach. With time we see that winning the person through love and patience is better than winning the argument at the expense of the relationship. What would be better: win the argument because you are right, or, win the person and make it easier for them to come to see the truth?
Ah… far to often have I been a Thunder Puppy. “It is in the text!” Alas, it is… but if I only care about being right, and have not love… gong… gong… gong
