help with conflict
All conflict must be examined inside the biblical story.
The 4 “G’s” for Resolving Conflict
- Get the log out of your eye. Matthew 7:5 – Recognize your sinful habits, attitude, past-weaknesses-depend on God. Repent & confess (words, sarcasm, gossip, grumbling, complaining, lies, exaggerations.)
- Go & Show Your Brother His Fault:
- Confront in a loving way.
- Seek to lift a burden in their life. (Matthew 18:15 & Galatians 6:1)
- Consider Overlooking the Offense. Minor not serious hurts, the cause of Christ, or others, not hurting offenders or damaging a relationship. Proverbs 19:11 & 1 Peter 4:8
- Be Reconciled Matthew 6:12 & Luke 11:4, Matthew 18:23-35 & Colossians 3:13
