Growing up I remember a ton of pithy sayings my parents would say during my youth. One was, "It takes two to tango," meaning that if just one party could keep its cool during a squabble, then an argument would vanish and a plain discussion would ensue. So here it is, Don't do the tango! James would never have guessed that two thousands years after he had penned James 4 that someone would have reduced his words to a dance step. But that is precisely what I am suggesting.
James 4.5-12 offers three spiritual qualities that if applied correctly, you will never be caught up in a nasty interchange again. You ask, "Is it that easy?" No one is saying that it is easy, only possible. Often we have poured gasoline rather than water on a fiery conflict. It didn't have to be that way. These three qualities are powerful weapons that fight against family dysfunction and bring glory and honor to our Lord.
