The Bible Teaches Against Arguing

When we keep the motive of love at the forefront of our thoughts and conversations, we will be inclined to avoid having an argumentative spirit. There are several ways to help us stay positive instead of arguing:
• Slow down thoughts as well as responses.
• Bring some positive statements into a discussion rather than criticizing.
• Restate the other person’s view.
• Ask for confirmation of the other persons view or feelings.
• We can learn how to state our position carefully and lovingly.
• When love is our motive, we will want to listen to other people’s perspectives with an open mind.

Php. 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem another better than themselves.

Jam. 1:19 Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

My Prayer
Dear God, Help me to walk away from quarrels and disputes. To help me battle any desire I have to argue, please give me meekness, humility (humbleness), peace, kindness and love toward all. Amen
