A Way to Prevent Quarrels
Quarrelling doesn’t glorify God because it shows you lack self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit (see Galatians 5:2-23). Therefore, be mindful of those you move around with in your life.
Are You Judging Others Unconsciously?
It’s easy to find faults and mistakes in others’ lives, but it’s much harder to see our own wrongdoings. As Christians, we are called to love our neighbours and to live a humble life that will make people see Christ in us. That includes avoiding judgment and condemnation of others.
The Wrath of Man Does Not Produce the Righteousness of God
Harbouring offences in your heart to the point that they affect your actions would make you live a contradictory life. Why? Because the Sprit of God dwells in it. That’s why the wrath of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
A Man’s Life Is a Reflection of What Is in His Heart
A man’s life is a reflection of what is in his heart. And that would mean we should check the things stored in our hearts, especially offences. It should be good and good alone – not evil.
Leave Room for God’s Wrath

How to Prevent Strife
Emphasising forgiveness is very important in our relationships with one another. No matter what you do, people will offend you. However, Colossians 3:13 tells us to forgive others as Christ has also forgiven us. Note that there are no conditions attached to that scripture.

How to Handle Remorse
Have you ever experienced regret after seeing a bad result of something you’ve done that you thought would end well? That is remorse. How should you handle it as a child of God? Learn it today from God’s Word.
Drop the Matter
When an offence isn’t covered up and heartily forgiven, it develops into quarrels anytime the offender and offended speak about the issue. Drop the matters by addressing them in love and settling disputes amicably using the wisdom of God.
Judge Yourself Before Judging Others
