THE DUTY OF EVERY MINISTER: The Story of Olaf & Jayne

When brothers disagree on doctrine, it is "the duty of every minister" to open the Scriptures and "weigh every argument." (Lt21-1888). When a brother approached Olaf with arguments against the doctrine of the trinity, Olaf earnestly studied the Scriptures to understand his position so he could show him his error. Olaf could never have known how his earnest desire and efforts for the salvation of his brother would become a blessing to himself in the most unexpected way. Join Olaf and Jayne as they share how God led them through their disappointments and fears, and by miracles and dreams, answered His promise to them, "ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13)

"If a brother differs with you on some points of truth, do not stoop to ridicule; do not place him in a false light or misconstrue his words, making sport of them; do not misinterpret his words and wrest them of their true meaning. This is not conscientious argument. Do not present him before others as a heretic, when you have not with him investigated his positions, taking the Scriptures text by text in the spirit of Christ to show him what is truth. You do not yourself really know the evidence he has for his faith, and you cannot clearly define your own position. Take your Bible, and in a kindly spirit weigh every argument that he presents and show him by the Scriptures if he is in error. When you do this without unkind feelings, you will do only that which is your duty and the duty of every minister of Jesus Christ." (Lt21-1888)
