You represent His Majesty’s Government here on earth, and the earth is at war with Him. So you are not here to win a popularity contest. You are not here to ‘win’ people. You are here to declare His Majesty’s policy, and people have to KNOW they can TRUST what you say.

So you need to learn His Majesty’s BOOK, and rather well, lest you misrepresent Him! Proper ambassadorship is a harder job, than being a nuclear physicist; and it takes longer to learn. We know that, because even Christ didn’t start His Ministry, until He was 30 years old!

We are graded at the Bema on how well we REPRESENT Him, how well we thus LEARNED Him, not not not on our rituals or good deeds. God-deeds are gold silver precious stones — gems in your mouth and in your head which only God can make, Romans 12:1-3, 1Cor2-3, 1Cor13. So some of us, having proven bad representatives, will be very far away from Him in eternity. Because, we didn’t learn and live on THE BOOK, Hebrews 11:1-6, Hebrews 6, end Hebrews 10. Christ paid for sins with His THINKING, not with His Physical death, Isaiah 53:10’s ‘me amal naphesho’ (=from the labor of His Soul) plus 53:11’s ‘bedato yatsdiq’ (=by means of His Mastery of Truth Knowledge He Makes Righteous) clauses. So too, all ‘work’ is solely a product of thinking Bible under the Spirit, Philippians 2:7-10 plus the above verses. Nothing else counts, Romans 4, 1Cor3.

So you end up debating. Sometimes you must be nasty, sometimes nice; but always you must be honest. John 8 shows us how Christ does it. I try to use the same principles when I reply to comments (well or badly, I’m not always sure)!

An ambassador should never ‘affect’ a behavior, but should always key his words to the needs of the hearer, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS should be HONEST. That way the hearer knows he can trust you.

That’s why sometimes it’s very right to be nasty, especially since people who are hypocritical, are often nice. You want to make clear the points made, not ‘win’. God does the winning. Your job is to declare as best you know Bible, in the moment.

Disclosure, not selling, is what ambassadors are supposed to do. The minute you try to ‘win’, you will become dishonest and once thus discovered, it’s almost impossible to regain trust. That garbage about ’soul winning’ is pure satanic arrogance. The objective is to give the person enough INFORMATION so he can make an informed decision. Never more than that.

No Christian should EVER be a liar. Worst sin you can commit.

For the secular counterpart, read Sir Harold Nicolson’s ‘Diplomacy’. He was a Brit who wrote this classic for foreign ambassadors. Worth reading. It was part of my college course, 30+ years ago. (In college, I was training to become a foreign ambassador, but God had different ideas.)

Jonathan Dimbleby and a panel of experts come together to debate the controversial subject of religion in Britain’s schools.

The role of religion in education is a subject rarely out of the headlines. Despite Britain’s multi-faith society, schools are still required to include a collective act of worship of a Christian nature, while faith schools and religious academies have raised fears about community cohesion and covert selection.

Claims by some religious educationalists that faith is the best way to teach moral values is challenged by others in schools who believe religious morality to be outdated and dangerous.

Dimbleby is joined by Professor Richard Dawkins, Schools Select Committee chairman Barry Sheerman MP, and a multi-faith studio audience.
