Reflections

What does it mean to be contentious?  Contentious people had an unhealthy interest in anything that stirs up contention.  They pick a fight over small matters.  These people are constantly causing friction with others.  
 

What is the Bible’s view? Proverbs 20:3 (NIV)  It is to a man’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. 

 
Why does this happen?  Because they believe they are right.  They will not accept any other view and will go out of their way to prove that they are right. Even if it means getting into an argument with others.  They are not that concerned whether it causes others to get upset, as long as they win their case.  Are we by any chance like that?
