1016) Bickering is tiresome. Ask any parent or teacher; it’s my bet that they will agree. Imagine a classroom of middle school students (some of you see this every day) and you will be reminded of how bickering makes life stressful. No one benefits from bickering. It’s like chewing gum and hoping to fill an empty stomach. It will not get you what you want.

If you take the time to read 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, you will find an example of the frustration that Paul feels with the Corinthians, who were constantly bickering, especially over spiritual matters. Paul states that this constant back and forth makes those involved look immature and is not complimentary to your faith or yourself.

Which is better: a life full of strife and bickering or one filled with peace. I know which one I would choose.
