FIGHTING/STRIFE

When we have the mind of Christ, that is, one of service to others; not preferring myself above the needs or demands of others…much fighting will be abated!!!

Read James 3:14-19 and Galatians 5:14-26...very convicting!!!

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Proverbs 16:28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Proverbs 20:3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

Philippians 2:3-5 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

This is the fight in which we are challenged to be engaged!!!

I Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
