Strife
Proverbs 3:30
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm.


I. AS A PRINCIPLE INHERENT IN THE SOUL. There is a battling instinct in every human mind. Man is made to antagonise. The principle is intended to put us into antagonism —

1. Not against existence, but against the evils of existence.

2. Not against God, but against the enemies of God.

II. AS A PRINCIPLE LIABLE TO PERVERSION.

(D. Thomas, D.D.)
