Strife is like the opposite of the love of God – it is doing things that cause conflict, causing people to be against each other, to fight, to quarrel, to clash, to be in competition with someone.Continue reading “The Fruit of the Spirit 12: Avoid Strife!”

It seems like every time I make a fresh commitment to love people like Jesus, someone just out of nowhere starts being mean and unloving to me.
