Back in the 26th chapter Solomon looked at a contentious man as one that stoked an existing fire. That would be damaging to relationships. Here in the 28th, though, he suggests an ongoing contention:<br /><br />They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. [Proverbs 28:4 KJV]<br /><br />Not for any desire to be contentious, but it is a natural result of diametrically opposed positions. There are times Christians are to be contentious:<br /><br />Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. [Jude 1:3 KJV]<br /><br />This is not to be undertaken lightly, nor without the full armor of God.Phyllis Blickensderferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206757687699759551noreply@blogger.com
