Addressing Conflict

The number one determiner of success in a marriage is the ability to resolve conflict

—Rick Warren

When you don’t resolve your conflicts you’re putting thin layers of resentment between you and the other person

Sometimes you can help people be free of something if you confront them and not just let them keep getting by with it

Conflict is Necessary

Conflict is not a bad thing

if you don’t have conflict… You don’t have a real relationship

Healthy relationships are marked by conflict

Hard conversations are not fun… But they are not optional either

But if you fight all the time it also means that you haven’t learned how to resolve conflict

3 Resolving Conflict

Expose the sins of other Christians in the church first so that everyone can know how to interact with that individual
Renew your mind by not hearing their side of the story
Overlook some offenses and not get angry quickly
All of the above

Matthew 18:15

15 “Now if your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

1 Peter 4:8

Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

Proverbs 20:19

One who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with a gossip.

Proverbs 18:17

The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him.

A person’s discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook an offense.

The fear of man brings a snare, But one who trusts in the LORD will be protected.

From the lesson: Unchained Disciples : Dealing With Rumination

We shouldn’t worry about how we are going to provide for ourselves in the future
Christians should not wear hats in church
If we take our thoughts captive we can prevent ourselves from having sinful thoughts
You can’t keep the devil from suggesting thoughts, but you can choose not to dwell or act on them.

Proverbs 16:27 (Living Bible)

27 Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.

One strategy to combat intrusive thoughts is to stay busy with productive/kingdom activity

From the lesson: Unchained Disciples : Intrusive Thoughts - Part 2

7 The Unforgivable Sin

According to our study, the unforgivable sin is:

Saying something sacrilegious about God or the Holy Spirit
Repeatedly doing the same sins
Being a believer but not a Christian
Denying that the tongues spoken in charismatic churches are evidence of the Holy Spirit
None of the above

3. Being a believer but not a Christian

In Mark 3, we Jesus implies that the Pharisees had committed the unforgivable sin. The context was that they were saying He was performing miracles through the power of Satan.

The unforgivable sin is being convinced that Jesus is the Messiah but still choosing not to accept Him as your saviour. The Pharisees knew the signs and knew that Jesus had performed them.

Satan is an example of this.

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against [f]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16[g]in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
