Does Strife Follow You Everywhere You Go?

Main message: Christians are called to be peacemakers; if you belong to God, peace should follow you rather than constant strife.

Key points:

• Some people (or those around you) habitually stir up conflict wherever they go.
• Presence can influence atmosphere: if you’re a "person of strife," trouble tends to erupt when you arrive.
• Denying it is common, but family or acquaintances often reveal the truth.
• Being a peacemaker is an explicit mark of God's children.
• Continual contention is contrary to Christian identity and should be replaced by peace.

Scriptures mentioned: Matthew 5:9
