Wrestling With Pigs? DON'T!

Dr. Beau Abernathy

Tempted to dive into a messy argument? Remember the farmyard wisdom: wrestle a pig and you both get muddy—but only one of you will love it! Instead, follow Proverbs 26:4—“Do not answer a fool according to his folly.” Step back, pray for calm, and let God guard your reputation and peace. Choosing silence or a gentle reply protects your joy and keeps you clean of needless drama.
