This is a question we rarely ask ourselves. Which hill are we willing to die on? Are we going to die on the hill of debating wearing a mask? There are so many things we can argue about, but as my mother always said, pick your battles wisely. I’m not trying to give anyone advice, but ask Jesus and be wise.

Misunderstandings
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
