Are You Quarrelsome in Your Life and Faith?

Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

Proverbs 21:9

Just at face value, this proverb has a lot of wisdom. Who wants to share a house or a room with someone who is always quarrelsome? Have you ever had to do that? When the person you’re living with stirs up trouble and there is always a tense atmosphere hanging in the air? This proverb should help us reflect on ourselves and how we share our space with those around us. We should be peaceful, not quarrelsome, lest we make the other person want to live on the corner of the roof just to get away from us.

But if we start to dig a little deeper, we can find a more spiritual meaning in this proverb as well. First, we have to consider a couple things: what do wives and husbands represent in the Bible, and what does the Bible say about the house where they’re living?

Why is the Bible Called the Word of God?

Perhaps you have seen someone carrying a Bible and referring to it as something other than the Bible. In fact, if you look at the Greek roots, Bible simply means books. Sixty-six of them to make a complete collection. More meaningfully, I’ve heard the Bible called the Good Book, the Holy Bible or Holy Scriptures, or the Word of God.

With these many different names, do we fully understand why they are used? Why is this book called the Word of God actually? And if it is the Word of God, how did it get from Him to households all over the word as the best-selling book of all time?

Touched By An Angel: A Look At God’s Heavenly Workers

If you grew up in the United States and are old enough to remember the ‘90s, then you may recall a show named, “Touched by an Angel.” It was a popular Christian family drama that ran from the mid-‘90s to the early 2000s.

The concept of “guardian angel” is a popular belief in many Christian communities. And this TV show used that idea for their basic plotline. If you’re not familiar with the show, it centers around three angels (disguised as normal people) who help others during difficult times in their lives. The main character of each episode doesn’t realize they had been touched or helped by an angel until the end of each episode when the angels reveal themselves to be messengers sent by God.
