“Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear , slow to speak , slow to anger .” (James 5:19 The Amplified Bible) We live in a day where people seem to quickly opt to attempt to resolve differences and remedy conflict through weapons, wars, and words that heighten instead of decreasing conflict or even erasing the reason behind a potential skirmish....
