A Sunday Evening Message by Allen Tomsovic

23, November 2008

Allen's Sunday Evening Service Message/Meditation was on Acts 17: 16 to Acts 18:5.

His message was about who really wins in a 'Spiritual Argument'. Spiritual Argument as in a Believer of our Faith (Grace through Faith in Christ) debating with a person who does not, using the Apostle Paul's experience in Athens.

One cannot 'Convince' someone to be 'Saved' and it is the duty of the Holy Spirit and not our skill. No one wins in a battle of words and from the example of the Apostle Paul, he repented and only focused on the gospel (Acts 18:5). It is the Gospel that saves and not fanciful words and speech.

The message was a great reminder that we should stick to the basics and allow God to move the people and not our cleverness.
