In episode 10, we continue the study of resolving conflict God’s way. We’ll be discussing bearing with one another in love and being able to appreciate that God has made each person different. We will be covering four topics in this series about “Bearing With One Another in Love” including:

As Christians, we want to mature and recognize that the Lord has made all of us different. There is a lot about differences among Christians in the book of 1 Corinthians. God has given us different abilities, skills, gifts, ministries, interests, passions, all within the context of Christianity.  All believers are to “bear with one another in love.”

    I love the view point discussed in the opening line by Pastor Jeff, “Are you a plank guy?” First remove the plank from your own eye before removing a speck from another. Assessing our own heart, assessing our own sin. We are commanded in the Bible to Love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love our neighbor as ourself, and we are commanded to also love our enemies. Love does no harm, lover never fails. Amen! Resolving conflicts God’s way. What does the Bible say? Praise God! Standing on the promises of God.
