Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace.

Warn others before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value and only ruins those who listen.

Avoid godless chatter.

Turn away from wickedness.

Flee from evil. 

Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace.

Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments.

-Adapted from 2 Timothy 2:14, 19, 22-23

Remember, quarreling, godless chatter, wickedness, evil, and foolishness and stupid arguments, all have one ending - RUIN! - and the person(s) choosing to engage in such activity will soon find such fate.  

Therefore, stay away!!

Fighting against man or God.

"... What if it turns out we're fighting against God?" 

~Acts 23:7-9 MSG

Hmmm... great question to ask ourselves - yes!  Accordingly, in the heat of a battle with another, maybe we should step back for a moment and align their words and actions with God's words and actions, as well as, align our words and actions with God's words and actions.  I truly believe that if we do, half the battles we engage in would be shut down immediately.  

So, let's take a breath before we engage in any sort of argument, accusation, judgment, and the like.  Life is too short and our lives are way too important in Christ to mess with those kinds of dark, worldly, things anyhow.

Lead every thought and purpose captive.

"[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (The Messiah, the Anointed One)." II Corinthians 10:5 AMPC

Every thought you think, every purpose you embark on, should align itself with God's Word.  If they don't, then what you are thinking, and what you are embarking on is not right, not true, and isn't worth your time.  Therefore, dig deep into God's Word and make His thoughts your thoughts, make His purpose your purpose, and know that every time you do you will crush Satan further and further into the ground, disabling his action plan of ever trying to hurt you.
