God's Word for Today26 June, 202520 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.-Prov 26:20-21 ESV DON'T ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE A fire must be fueled, must it not? In the ancient past, this almost always required wood. When no more wood is added, the fire extinguishes. The fire fades and burns itself out. Take away fuel, and nothing sustains the flames. In a parallel way, hearsay, bickering, slander, and other hostile speech do fuel disagreements and arguments, don't they? When gossiping ceases, much of the fuel for conflict is gone. Being argumentative, in general, is another way to prolong disputes (Prov 26:21).The Hebrew word refers to someone who grumbles, gossips or criticizes behind others' backs. The term is similarly used elsewhere in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 1:27; Psalm 106:25; Proverbs 16:28). One of these uses is Proverbs 18:8, which warns about the enticing words of a "whisperer." The same phrasing is used later in this passage (Proverbs 26:22).In the New Testament, James explains how evil the tongue is. He relates it to fire, that is, damaging, scarring, able to spread quickly, and hard to control. James writes, "How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell" (Jas 3:5–6). Paul corroborates this by saying in Galatians 5:14–15, "For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.""Quarrelsome" people are those who cause strife and division. It means to someone prone to fighting or eager to argue. Solomon advises us to have a careful, calming approach instead of looking for an excuse to start a fight. (Prov 15:1, 4) The prior teaching (v.20) noted that a gossiper is someone a "whisperer." (Prov 16:28) He adds fuel to disagreements. Paul mentioned the name Alexander the coppersmith, who caused trouble to him. Probably, he was a "quarrelsome" man. He said to Timothy, "Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message" (2 Tim 4:14–15). Jude also wrote about those who opposed the faith by saying they "cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit" ((Jude 1:18; cf. 2 Peter 3:3; Jude 1:19). John mentioned Diotrephes, who caused trouble within the church. He writes, "So if I come, I will bring up what [Diotrephes] is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us" (3 John 1:10). These characters, definitely, were inside the church but don't belong to Jesus. They are unregenerate so they are troublesome by nature.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lPuuvKVODmgListen and FOLLOW us on our podcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/glccfil_spotify Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-applepcast Audible Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-audibleFollow us on various media platforms: https://gospellightfilipino.contactin.bio#gospellightfilipino#godswordfortoday
