“Tips for Ending a Disagreement”

Sunday, July 28, 2024

It seems more and more that people are getting entangled in all kinds of disagreements. Whereas agreements used to take place quietly behind closed doors, now they are taking place on social media in view of the entire world. As Christians we are called to be different than the world around us (I John 2:15), thus we should not participate in arguments like those outside of Christ do, but unfortunately, we still find ourselves involved in arguments. The Philippian letter helps us end arguments.  

Philippians 4:2 

I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord. 

Agree in the name of the Lord instead of arguing. 

Philippians 4:4 

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 

Rejoice in the Lord instead of wasting time arguing. 

Philippians 4:8-9  

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. 

Focus on these things instead of arguing. 

 
If you find yourself in an argument just look to Philippians and you will find a way out. 

Be Strong and Courageous, 
Paul
