Out of the mouth of my five year old while begging big sister to go outside with him.

Today’s Repentance Day.

He’s more accurate than he knows. Sounds like a better idea than Labor Day. Repentance is today.

Acts 2:38 (ESV) And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 1:15 (ESV) “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

Acts 3:19-20 (ESV)
19 Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out,
20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, …

Strife

Berean Wife — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 10:00:26 +0000

The Bible has a lot to say about strife. These are just a few verses that discuss strife and the causes of strife. The first mention of strife is between Abraham’s herdsmen and Lot’s herdsmen.

Genesis 13:5-8 (ESV)

5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,
6 so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,
7 and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land.
8 Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen.

Proverbs 10:12 (ESV) Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

Proverbs 13:10 (ESV) By insolence comes nothing but strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom.

Proverbs 15:18 (ESV) A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

Proverbs 16:28 (ESV) A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.

Proverbs 23:29-30 (ESV)

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?
30 Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine.

Proverbs 28:25 (ESV) A greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched.

Proverbs 29:22-23 (ESV)

22 A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.
23 One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

Galatians 5:19-21 (ESV)

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
