The Pastor’s Corner

For lack of wood the fire goes out
and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
Prov. 26:20

The image painted by Solomon in this verse is one that most people would immediately understand. To have a useful fire, it requires fuel. In those days, a fire was usually fueled by wood. In the modern world, fire is also fueled by other means. However, the point is the same. If there is no fuel, a fire cannot continue. Therefore, it must be regularly supplied with fuel to keep going.
