No More Arguing
Too often, people fall into the trap of arguing.
Someone says something that rubs you the wrong way, and before you know it, there is tension, quarreling and division. It’s the enemy’s greatest trap to keep people from living in peace. But you don’t have to fall into the trap of strife, you can rise above it. You can simply drop the matter before it turns into something bigger than it needs to be. You don’t have to sink down to somebody’s level and argue with them and try to prove that you’re right. You weren’t put on this earth to correct everybody around you. If you are going to be all that you were called you to be, you have to learn to stay above arguing. Instead of letting disagreements pull your relationships apart, look for common ground to draw you closer to the people in your life. Look for peace. Look for ways to be a blessing. Stay above arguing so you can enjoy your relationships and experience the life you were created for today. Are you ready to stop arguing and live an awesome life?

Stay With Peace
Do all you can to maintain loving, peaceful, and healthy relationships. We cannot be right with God and wrong with man.
Too often, people fall into the trap of strife. Someone says something that rubs you the wrong way, and before you know it, there is tension, arguing and division. The Bible tells us that strife opens the door to “every evil work.” It’s the enemy’s greatest trap to keep people from living out their destiny. But you don’t have to fall into the trap of strife, you can rise above it. You can simply drop the matter before it turns into something bigger than it needs to be. You don’t have to sink down to somebody’s level and argue with them and try to prove that you’re right. You weren’t put on this earth to correct everybody around you. If you are going to be all that God’s called you to be, you have to learn to stay above strife. Instead of letting disagreements pull your relationships apart, look for common ground to draw you closer to the people in your life. Look for peace. Look for ways to be a blessing. Stay above strife so you can enjoy your relationships and experience the blessing He has for you. Is strife hurting a relationship you are in today?

Word Check
Has strife entered into your life? Do you find yourself talking rudely, harshly, and unloving to those around you? Today is the day to remove that strife from your daily life.
What is strife exactly? It is anger, it is bitter disagreement. There is no way we can have peace, joy and love in our life if we have allowed strife to enter. Check your words today. Check your intent when talking to others today. Strife can come in and we not even know it. The damage done through strife can hurt your relationships. You may need to go to someone or some group today and apologize for your words. When we admit and then change the way we talk to others; we crush that strife. When you feel it starting to rise up on the inside of you; then just be quiet. Most of our problems will be eliminated when we get the strife out of our life.
