Chris.
We are not to participate in quarrelling. If we quarrel, in God’s sight, it is as serious as sexual sin. The Bible tells us not to go to bed angry, we need to resolve and deal with our conflicts and hearts quickly. If quarrelling is kept in our hearts it may develop into all kinds of other problems within and without.
