But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.
-Matthew 5:22
How many arguments happen daily? How many of them do I feel bad about? The basic fight/argument in my life is mutual exasperation, followed by sincere, exhausted apologies. Then, everything is fine. Except, when I get to Heaven, I'll be judged because during that fight I was neither following God's commands nor displaying Christ-like behavior. I think I need to meditate on this verse, and ask God to remind me of it the next time I get upset with my brother; or anyone for that matter.
