Are you willing to apply wisdom or willing to give the enemy our worship?
It takes training!
"Starting" a quarrel is like breaching [breaking] a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. Prov 17:14
Stop it[dispute] before it begins.
How is this done? Don't give full vent to anger...Quick to listen and slow to speak.
A Brother Who Sins Against You
Matt18: 15"If your brother sins against you, "go and show[point out to] him his fault", just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. 16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan[unbeliever] or a tax collector
Many times we are not willing to go and reason it through but rather we go and gossip it to another because it seem to be a much easier task to take on. However, brethren the burdens of a meek and humble Christian isn't what feels good or appears easiest but rather what is of Faith in obedience.
FOR THE CHURCH
Colossian3:12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace.
Blessings and Peace be upon you this hour; for in the last days diver temptation shall appear.
In His loving kindness, Sis. Pearl
