3 Rules for Addressing Conflict
I believe that one of the biggest problems facing the world today is that we don’t know how to deal with conflict. We struggle in our homes, our workplaces, and our social environments because we’re either burying our feelings or letting them shoot out in angry sparks like bottle rockets after dark. Additionally, the main reason most people today don’t have deep relationships is that conflict sends us running. We hold on to our bruises and bring them with us to the next Christian family instead of taking our existing relationships to the next level. Avoiding conflict may seem easy initially, but the result will be a heart polluted with unhealed wounds and crippling bitterness. The following rules should give you a head start in handling conflict.
