Contention


  • “Another face of pride is contention. Arguments, fights, unrighteous dominion, generation gaps, divorces, spouse abuse, riots, and disturbances all fall into this category of pride.

  • “Contention in our families drives the Spirit of the Lord away. It also drives many of our family members away. …  

  • “Pride adversely affects all our relationships—our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child”

    --Ezra Taft Benson May 1989 Ensign
