PEACE through JESUS
Colossians 3:12-15
King James Version
12 Put on therefore,
as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another,
and forgiving one another,
if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity,
which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
How do we get along with others?
What will cause harmony?
How to prevent wars?
Or cat fights?
SPIRIT and Scripture have the answers.
We're featuring one Solomon chapter here.
An ounce of prevention is really better than TONS of cure.
Here are some verses on animosity prevention:

5 Take away the wicked from before the king,
and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
Proverbs 25:6-7
King James Version
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king,
and stand not in the place of great men:

Come up hither;
than that thou shouldest be put lower
in the presence of the prince
whom thine eyes have seen.
