I had a friend in college who was an argument waiting to happen. Wherever he went, conflict seemed to follow. There was always an issue to be debated, an argument to be had, a mistake to be exposed. People had different reactions to him. Some thought that he was great because he always stood up for his beliefs. Others thought he was a trouble-maker. But everyone agreed that controversy followed him wherever he went.
The Bible says that Christians will experience conflicts in the world. Does this mean that we are supposed to be like my friend, initiating conflict wherever we go? If not, what is the source of the conflict we experience, and how does God call us to respond?
