Beginning of strife

Beginning of strife

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with (Proverbs 17:14).

A small breach in a reservoir if not plugged will result in a deluge which may destroy a town. Likewise, a strife that begins in a house or in a church or in an organization, if not resolved amicably, may result in a great disaster.

In a big denominational church in India, a strife begun with usurping of property by a senior pastor and this strife could not be solved amicably. The matter further escalated and the aggrieved people went to a court of law and finally this strife became a disaster for the whole church.
