Confrontation is not easy for everyone, but when you believe in something you have to confront misinformation or misinterpretation. God's Word is something that all Christians should be getting to know or know well enough to defend. New Christians often will need help learning how to read God's Word. Make sure that they have help and do not accidently misinterpret what God is saying.
The number one issue that needs to be defended is the truth on salvation. Jesus is the only way to salvation. Anyone who says differently is mistaken. Find a way to correct them that will not turn them off from hearing the truth. Some people have a hard heart, so no matter what you say they will not listen. Do not let that get in your head. Be obedient to God's Word and you have done all you can do.
Examine your heart when approaching God's Word. You need to submit to God's authority to get the message He is trying to give you. If you have any defiance, then you may find yourself manipulating God's Word to make it say what you want it to say. Accept God's Word as truth and reject everything else as lies. Pray over what you are reading, to get what you need to get today. This is how you will be a good steward for God's Word.
