“Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin; whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.”
There has been a very public display across social media platform of something that would have been far better handled as a private conversation. I’ve watched from the sidelines as many people, who have no real connection to the situation, seem to take an inordinate amount of pleasure in offering their unsolicited opinions. It’s as if the situation is too juicy for them to ignore. This is true wherever you live. Drama is everywhere, especially in the Church. These individuals stir up discord and inject themselves into other people’s issues, creating battles in a narrative that was never theirs to begin with. In Solomon’s day, a high fence symbolized pride and a desire to flaunt wealth or influence. Those are often key ingredients to joining in drama. It often led to one’s downfall. At the heart of this drama is those who create it, chase it, amplify it, or try to attach their own story to it. This is a sign of folly. And with folly comes consequences: broken relationships and deep hurt are often the end result. There is no good—zero, nada, not a single thing—nothing good comes from this obsession with getting involved in drama. Not for anyone involved. Today, when you sense someone else’s drama brewing—run. #BeTheEdge
