Locked in Combat
When Christians bicker and battle, everybody loses.

Years ago, National Geographic printed a photograph of the fossil remains of two saber-toothed cats locked in combat.
To quote the article: “One had bitten deep into the leg bone of the other, a thrust that trapped both in a common fate. The cause of the death of the two cats is as clear as the causes of extinction of their species are obvious.”
When Christians bicker and battle, everybody loses. As the apostle Paul exhorts, “If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other” (Galatians 5:15). I wonder, “Are Christians today known more for our disunity and infighting or by our supernatural love?”
