One of my teachers showed this video to us for devotions recently, and I thought that it had such an important message to remind us of - especially when it comes to being a part of the creation/evolution debate. Because of how we are saved (by Jesus, not by our "moral performance") we are not superior to people who believe differently. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ7TbPPr1AM.

Very well said, J.E.S. St. Paul exhorts us to "speak the truth in love." Notice that truth comes first, because there is no real love without real truth. To encourage someone to believe something isn't true is certainly not a very loving thing to do. Just my two cents worth.
Thanks for posting this, @ekrause1406 ! I embedded the video link below for the convenience of those who may wish to watch it here. :) Below are my comments...
I agree that it is good to maintain humility and to speak the truth in love. Jesus died for the sins of all mankind, so it is very good for us to view all people with love and respect so that an arrogant or combative tone does not get in the way of the Gospel (which is that Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the whole world and that all who trust in Him will not perish but will have eternal life). This is not to say that speaking the truth is not important (speaking the truth is very important), but it is best to honestly listen to those whom we disagree with and present our beliefs and correct any heresies in a kind and winsome manner.
