COT:
I have a question for us to ponder this morning. Do you often find yourself arguing with others? Do you do so at work, at home? Why do we like to argue so much? It has been pointed out to me by my wife that I tend to argue a lot with my son in particular. It was also pointed out to me that I tend to want to prove that I am right on a matter even if it takes going out of my way to do so. He still argues with me anyway. This is arrogant of both of us. Is arrogance really that bad? Take a look at Romans 1

‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:28‭-‬31‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
“[28] And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, [29] being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, [30] slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, [31] without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;”

Arrogance is among a list of a lot of evil things, including murder and haters of God, that are unacceptable to God.

Proverbs 16:5 uses strong language against it as well.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
“[5] Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.”

Thinking too highly of our own opinions is sinful. It is absolutely essential that we hold firm when it comes to the truth of scripture. However, sometimes we need to set aside our opinions for the sake of unity. I will leave you with this scripture.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:10‭-‬18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
“[10] Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; [11] not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; [12] rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, [13] contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. [14] Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. [15] Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. [16] Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. [17] Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. [18] If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.”

Life keeps moving forward. It doesn’t slow down. We’ll miss it if we aren’t intentional. Set goals. We are responsible for our decisions and how we spend our time. Do it wisely keep God in the center of it all.
