Conflict in Measure

We will be dealing with conflict in our Sunday morning experiences today at New Hope.

As we were talking about it among staff I realized that all too often conflict goes unresolved because we let it get stuffed into the pockets of our soul in an effort to not confront the uncomfortable feeling of dealing with the conflict.

Dealing with conflict has been a life saver for me, especially when it comes to working in a church. I don't get it right all the time but it is the journey in reconciliation that I most love. 

It is awesome to watch two people, seemingly at odds, confront the issue with the mind of Christ and seek to understand not be understood which I think is ultimately what we should strive for when dealing with conflict.

Here's to riding the train, try not to get derailed on the small things but live at peace where you can help it.
