The Bickersons

This is a word I have not heard in a while :  BICKER
Yet in the past month I have heard it a handful of times.  The sad part is it almost always is used to describe communication in a marriage of "long standing". 

What does the Scripture say about bickering *?  Looking at the synonyms below I guess a lot.  The Israelite's likely took the award but there are many other verses in the New Testament where we are commanded to speak loving and life giving words to each other.

I imagine most people/couples just say "oh we know each other is just kidding"  "We don't mean anything by it"  'What? Bicker? we don't bicker!"

It's a problem.  No I mean IT'S A PROBLEM!

If you are a "bickerer" stop it!   

I know I'm meddling but as Thumper said, 

"If you can't say nothing nice ~ say nothing at all".

Brother and Sister,  If this applies take it to the Lord 

and ask for help.  

I doubt God  thinks it's funny.  

What it is is simply a bad habit that can be broken. 

Remember He is not finished with us 

until our last breath.  

So if the shoe fits wear it.  

See if anyone notices. 

(I'm going to watch myself more closely)
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart 
be acceptable to You Oh God"
