When Israel rejected the promised land, they found themselves wandering in the desert. And of course, if you wander in the desert, you're going to run out of water.
Now Moses and Aaron were in the exact same situation as the people of Israel, but the people came up "against" their leaders. Obviously a conversation needed to happen, but these people were willing to make it a confrontation instead.
As Christians, we should speak up. God isn't calling us to be doormats or to remain silent on issues. But God isn't warning us to avoid "ignorant arguments" according to 2 Timothy 2:23. Arguments only breed arguments.
So as a Christian, remember that your call isn't to win the argument. It's to end the argument. Only then, can helpful and healthy conversations take place.
