What You'll Discover in this Episode:

We are joined today by Calvary Chapel University’s biblical counseling instructor Dr. Bill Hines. Dr. Hines is the President of Covenant Ministries, Inc.- a biblical counseling and education ministry in Ft. Worth, Texas and a commissioned addictions biblical counselor. An ordained Minister of the Gospel of Christ, Bill is a certified biblical counselor with The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) & The International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC)

In the culture we live in today it seems as though we are all facing conflicts and disagreements. Every believer is created in a unique way to bring God glory. Since each believer is different we are going to have differences in opinion. These differences of opinion can lead to conflicts and disagreements. Conflicts and disagreements are not necessarily bad unless they lead to sin.

The Bible is the foundation in Christian living and contains all we need to live a righteous life. The Bible does not shy away from talking about conflicts. Paul and Barnabas had a heated disagreement which shows us that there will be times when Christians face disagreements.

In our continued study of conflict resolution God’s way, we will discuss conflicts that arise from indifference's. This type of conflict arises when there is a difference of opinion or a different preference. There are practical Biblical practices we can apply to our lives in order to find resolutions to our conflicts.

The foundation of resolution is humility. When we face conflict with our fellow brother or sister in Christ, we need to understand that we both worship the same God and that we are united in Christ. As believers, we need to live in compassion with one another.

Pastor Jeff and Dr. Hines revisit the discussion on three main types of conflict in the conflict resolution series. These main types of conflicts are: conflicts that result from differences, conflicts that result from sinfulness, and conflicts that result from righteousness issues.

Highlights from the discussion between Pastor Jeff and Dr. Hines
Forbear with one another when there are differences. Look at the situation through the eyes of Jesus. Use this as an opportunity to grow in your faith and knowledge of Christ.
If there is no sin involved and the conflict is a matter of "differences" from one another, we do not treat the conflict as though someone is in sin. Just like Paul and Barnabas disagreed in how they should do ministry, they went their separate ways but did not treat it as though one was in sin.
As we look to the Word and mature in the Lord, we will begin to see things more clearly and be able to practice humility.
Wisdom will be added to the believer as you begin to open God's word and apply it to every situation in your life.
In order to tackle the issue of conflicts you need to turn to the Word, be in prayer, and ask God to make you a more mature follower of Christ.

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
