Made Himself Nothing
There’s a lot going on where I worship right now that centers around conflict between members. Here’s my own advice for anyone who’s been there and done that, like I have – found herself in conflict with another church member. I have been both the offend – ER and the offend – ED . For the advice I have to offer, it doesn’t matter which side you’re on. I would give this advice to either side. 1) The disagreement is not as important as the manner in which it is handled. 2) Most of the time, the disagreement is not about the disagreement it’s about personalities. 3) If the disagreement is over whether something is a sin or not, then it must be substantiated by scripture. 4) If scripture substantiates it, then it’s a moot issue and has already been dealt with. 5) If scripture is silent, then it must be considered a grey area. 6) Grey areas are grey areas and must not be considered black or white. 7) My opinions about grey areas are determined by my perception which is totally subjective
