¿It don't you realize that he or she started?!!

Proverbs 15:1
"A gentle answer turns away anger, but a sharp word causes anger."

The discussions, the rivalry, the confrontations, the wars ... have always existed. The Word of God explains why this happens: "What starts wars and fights among you? Is it not because you want many things and are fighting to have them? You want something you do not have, so you kill. You want something but cannot get it, so you fight for it. You do not get things because you do not ask for them." (James 4:1-2).

Sadly, when we should be agents of change, we end up joining this game where no one wants to regret what we've did.

¿What do we achieve? We managed to increase the problem, situations where it is often difficult to step back... We just say the famous phrase "¡¿it don't you realize that he or she started? !! '

Just as the Bible says "A wise man sees sin and hides himself, but the fool goes on and suffers for it." (Proverbs 27:12).

Today we will see some verses to think about it in order to we will stop blaming others:

1. ¿Do we want recognition?: "It is an honor for a man to keep away from fighting, but any fool will argue." (Proverbs 20:3)

2. ¿Do we take the time to listen?: "My Christian brothers, you know everyone should listen much and speak little. He should be slow to become angry. 20 A man’s anger does not allow him to be right with God." (James 1:19-20)

3. If we know that talking angry is not a good idea, ¿Why do we talk angry? Let us keep quiet, we going to keep calm and let us talk when the anger goes away: "He who has a quick temper acts in a foolish way, and a man who makes sinful plans is hated." (Proverbs 14:17)

4. ¿What do we look for with conflict? ¿Do we not know that the purpose of this is to be exposed to hell?: "“You have heard that men were told long ago, ‘You must not kill another person. If someone does kill, he will be guilty and will be punished for his wrong-doing.’ But I tell you that whoever is angry with his brother will be guilty and have to suffer for his wrong-doing. Whoever says to his brother, ‘You have no brains,’ will have to stand in front of the court. Whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be sent to the fire of hell." (Matthew 5:21-22)

5. ¿Do we wanna not inherit the Kingdom of God?: "The things your sinful old self wants to do are: sex sins, sinful desires, wild living, worshiping false gods, witchcraft, hating, fighting, being jealous, being angry, arguing, dividing into little groups and thinking the other groups are wrong, false teaching, wanting something someone else has, killing other people, using strong drink, wild parties, and all things like these. I told you before and I am telling you again that those who do these things will have no place in the holy nation of God."(Galatians 5:19-21).

6. Now! We have the authority to shut the door to the devil: "If you are angry, do not let it become sin. Get over your anger before the day is finished. Do not let the devil start working in your life." (Ephesians 4:26-27)

7. We know we have the Christ's mind, ¿Why do not we use it to handle the situation in a better way?: "‘In your heart do not hate someone from your own country. You may speak sharp words to your neighbor, but do not sin because of him. 18 Do not hurt someone who has hurt you. Do not keep on hating the sons of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord." (Leviticus 19:17-18)

Please, we have enough with the wars that the devil makes us everyday to continue disputing between us. We are brothers!! For you and for me runs the same blood, the Christ's blood! ¿Is it not better let's to be agree to focus on winning more souls for the Kingdom?

God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
