Arguments are seldom won but often lost. When we engage in petty squabbles, our loss usually outpace our gains. When we acquire the unfortunate habit of habitual bickering, we do harm to our friends, to our families, to our coworkers, and to ourselves.
Time and again, God's Word warns us that most arguments are a monumental waste of time, of energy, of life. In Titus, we are warned to refrain from "foolish arguments," and with good reason. such arguments usually do more for the devil than they do for God.
So the next time you're tempted to engage in a silly squabble, whether inside the church or outside it, refrain. When you do , you'll put a smile on God's face, and you'll send the devil packing.
