Arguments, when fueled by anger or pride, can escalate quickly, breaking down relationships and creating unnecessary tension. Another reason why there should be no arguing.
In James 3:5-6, we are warned about the power of the tongue: "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body." Exactly like a small crack in a dam can lead to catastrophic flooding, a single argument, if not controlled, can flood our hearts with bitterness and resentment.
It is important to recognize that words have the power to build or destroy. When we engage in constant arguing, we risk breaching the emotional and relational dam that holds peace together.
Ephesians 4:29 says to avoid unwholesome talk and to speak words that build others up according to their needs. By choosing peace over conflict, we preserve unity and guard against the destructive forces of uncontrolled arguments.
To keep the "dam" from breaking, we must practice humility, seek understanding, and speak with love, remembering that our words reflect our hearts.
