The Root of Contention

March 13, 2015 by Mike Sansone Leave a Comment

Arguments of Pride

Some of the worst moments of my life are the words and works puffed up and pumped out because of my pride. Whenever I find myself start to get upset, I do my best to take a moment and assess, is this just pride talking?

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. – Prov 13:10

Only by pride comes contention:

  • Road rage – Pride.
  • Someone tardy for an appointment or didn’t come through on an agreement – Pride.
  • Didn’t get proper service – Pride.
  • Think about your last argument or fight – Pride.

At the core of your mighty stance? Pride with a capital “P”.

Jas 3:16 talks about envy and strife and its roommates, confusion and every evil work. Envy and strife are contentious bedfellows.

And the root of contention? Only by pride comes contention.
