4 Nephi 1:13-18 There was no contention in the land

Before you read the verses, think about the last time someone in your family was fighting. What happened? Have both sides tell the story. Then read the verses.

What would you like to have no contention? Is this just a parable that Nephi made up? Or did this really happen? How do you think they were able to live without fighting?

Now think back to fight you discussed earlier. How could you have prevented the fighting? What can you do next time so that a disagreement doesn't become contentious?
