Why argue?

A quote from Dave Burchett, in his book "When Bad Christians Happen to Good People" says,

"If Christians are onto something that is life-changing, if we posess a relationship worth dying for, if we believe in something enough to change our worldview in order to embrace it, then why are we arguing about things like whether women can teach in the church? In a world that is clearly on a moral slippery slope, why are we debating whether seeker-sensitive churches are more effective than traditional ones?"

Now, I'm not asserting my opinions on the controversies expressed in these statements, but Dave makes a good point. We as Christians waste our time arguing over things that don't mean a hill of beans when it comes to eternal significance. Something to think about.
