Iron Sharpens Iron

Spiritual Warfare - Lesson 4 - Iron Sharpens Iron - Prov. 27:17. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." This verse has been used time and again to defend the practice of believers engaging in heated debate in order to knock the rough edges off of each other. However, in examining the truth here, in looking at the way this verse is written, we might learn a few things about the difference between godly discipleship and debate that is argumentative and quarrelsome.
