Where.....strife is, there is.....every evil work."-James 3:16
The apostle Paul writes: "Agree with each others, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand." (Php 2:2-24).
Because, strife wreaks havoc in relationships. It often stems from an inflated ego and leads to comparing, competing, and condemning. James points that out: "Where....strife is, there is...every evil work. So be a strife-spotter!
The moment it rears its ugly head-uproot it! Look after each other so that none of you fail....Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. (Heb. 12:15). Try to live in harmony...Because, those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness (Jas 3:17-18)..In other words, avoid strife-(Source: Word For You Today)
