Inevitably, conflict happens, but how we respond determines how that conflict is resolved. The resolution can have profound effects on how Christians, people for that matter, relate to one another after the resolution. There are scores of books and counselors who purport to know the way to resolve conflict. The Word of God (Isaiah 59:3-5, 2 Corinthians 10:4-6, 2 Timothy 2:22-24 & Titus 3:8-10) is full of examples of what type of conflicts/arguments the believer should engage. While those verses are not exhaustive, they provide good guidance for us.
There will not be a lot of writing today as I would prefer for you to read how an acceptable conflict is resolved where reconciliation is reached. Tomorrow, I will write more about the reconciliation in a proper situation. The following day’s post will provide an example of when it’s okay to go separate ways without reconciliation. For today, please READ Galatians 2 which is the prompt for the title of the post today: Reconciliation between Christian Brothers as a testament of the changed life that Christ brings. This is the mark in which the world must notice something different in us.
