In Part 2 of "Strife - Satan's Underground," Duane Sheriff teaches the harmful effects of strife and how to overcome it. Acknowledging the importance of avoiding strife, especially in marriage, family, business, and church communities, is essential.
James 3:16 highlights that where there is envy and strife, there is confusion and every evil work. This verse underscores the dangerous nature of strife and why it must be avoided. Identifying the root cause of strife is pride. Proverbs 13:10 states, 'Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.' This scripture helps to clarify that pride leads to arguments and conflicts. Addressing pride in our hearts is key to reducing strife in our relationships and environments. Humility cures strife.
Jesus teaches us to humbly serve others, which helps prevent pride and the resulting conflicts. In Luke 22:26, Jesus says, "But you shall not be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves." The Bible shows that living humbly and avoiding conflict can lead to peaceful and loving relationships. Embrace humility, consider others, and manage your pride to promote a healthier community and personal life.
