The Creation of Contention & Strife

The church must be guarded against everything that causes disturbance of the fellowship, foolish controversies, distracting us from the real work. A wise separation must be implemented when the controversialist will not be brought to belief in the truth. Once, twice, then out the door, no more of it! Rest assured such perversion of truth comes from the father of lies, the devil. Paul writes as a man with much church experience and under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
