Today’s passage warns against meddling in the disputes of others, comparing it to grabbing a stray dog by the ears. Gossip is also dangerous, as it fuels quarrels just like wood fuels a fire—don’t allow yourself to become a fuel source! Additionally, be on the alert for people who hide malice behind flattering words, as their true intentions will eventually be exposed. Please open your Bible to Proverbs twenty-six, verse seventeen, and listen as Pastor Ray Viola completes his study of this chapter.
