@mikedoneheyofficial: I’d highly encourage everyone (particularly those who claim to walk in the ways of Jesus) to take these words to heart. “Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,” 2 Timothy 2:23-25 To speak and to speak gently. This is the command. To change someone’s heart; that, it seems, is above my pay grade. It reminds me of the story Jesus tells about a friend of wheat. The workers want to tear out the weeds but He seems to suggest that isn’t their job. Worth nothing “a bruised reed He will not break and a flickering flame He will not quench.” Tread lightly folks. You never know what God is up to inside the galaxy of someone’s heart.

To too many ppl, being right is more important than being righteous.

Somebody in Louisiana said that y’all are leading people to help? Because Louisiana’s got a lot of opposition to heavenly things.

I appreciate you sharing your life experiences! I last saw you live in 2017 at a conference and your shared part of your testimony and it’s always been in the back of mind. Grateful for your music too

Feel like I read another book that that guy should’ve read about this topic. “But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ.” “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.”

But we need to guard our hearts, friends, and families from garbage teaching. 2nd John tells us how to deal with false teachers.

Speaking the Truth in love doesn’t necessarily sound sweet to the ears, but it should be about our heart posture and from a place of calm delivery, even if it sounds stern. Just like with salvation, it’s not our job to save someone…give them the message, and then leave that work to Holy Spirit.

I’m from Louisiana. I’m sorry that happened. I’ve only seen that happen once in ‘89 and it was a Bon Jovi concert. Please don’t think we are all like that?

Mike I’ve been a fan of your band for well over a decade and I absolutely love your heart for Jesus and how it pours out of you through your songs and books. I’ve considered Tenth Avenue North as one of the most valuable resources for worship that ALWAYS points to Jesus. I can’t comprehend why those people thought you were leading your fans astray and I agree with your (and Paul’s) take on this. Shouting down people doesn’t point them to Jesus, but away from Him.

@Mike Donehey I love your posts more than anything in TikTok. I remember I’m in college a converted Hells Angel was doing the same thing on our campus. His heart was in the right place but how he was screaming at everyone that they were going to hell for X reasons, he wasn’t getting anyone to “listen”. Thank you so much for every post you put out. ❤️

As a Christian, as soon as they start screaming , they have lost 90% of the listener. The truth spoken quietly is way more effective than any other method. Jesus didn’t scream at me to draw me to him . He simply showed me the truth though written word.

I know a man who "witnessed for Jesus" this very same way. No job, screamed and yelled at people, family suffered and wife had to support them. He did this for 20 years. Never provided fornhis family in those 20 years. Fruit? He never lead a single person to Christ.
