Resolving Conflict

I don’t think there’s any doubt we live in a time of conflict. With “wars & fights among us.” And that conflict seems to be getting worse.

 When I was a kid, it seemed like the conflict got worse every decade between…

Liberals vs Conservatives. Red states vs Blue states.

In recent years, it seems like the conflict intensifies every year.

Pro-wall vs Anti-wall. Pro-Trump vs Never Trump.

But in 2020, it seems like the conflict escalates every week.

Masks vs no masks. Protests vs police.

 And Christians are not immune. There are wars & fights in churches.

 Christians used to have worship wars over style of music.

Now we’re arguing over whether we should sing at all.

We used to argue over the number of services.

Now Christians are arguing over whether we should have them at all.

 And I don't know if there’s anything sadder than wars & fights in a church.
