Siblings fight. (especially me and mine)
But we make up.
We come back to the fact that we love each other.
Christian brothers and sisters fight.
But we don't always make up.
In history we even go to war with each other.
We do it today in the church.
Real wisdom brings about peace.
I have often wondered, that persons who make a boast of professing the Christian religion, namely, love, joy, peace, temperance, and charity to all men, should quarrel with such rancorous animosity, and display daily towards one another such bitter hatred, that this, rather than the virtues they claim, is the readiest criterion of their faith.
~Benedict de Spinoza
Churches.
Denominations.
Cliches.
Social Clubs.
Politics.
What does it for you?
What causes the friction for you?
What do you get angry about?
James 4:1-12
Is it really others or is it us?
Selfishness.
Inspired by Ben Stuart's sermon "You Adulterous People"
