Choice and Accountability

“For verily, verily, I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another. Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.” (3 Nephi 11:29-30)

The family has always been Satan’s target to take down and destroy in anyway he can, and contention is one of his biggest weapons. When there is anger or contention the Spirit cannot dwell there. We need to remember that we have a choice in all things, we can choose not to be mad. We need to keep our eye on the big picture when we feel anger and contention creeping in. If we can keep in mind that we can control ourselves and not let Satan.
