I’ve Got The Answer
My wife Linda and are pastors of Family Life Community Church in Anaheim, Ca. Our mission is to “Help families live together in joy and harmony for the glory of God”. We are eternal optimists when it comes to seeing our mission happen in the lives of individuals, couples and families. The answer for all relationship conflicts are in the Word of God. Conflicts will arise in any seasoned relationship. Conflicts are not bad, they are inevitable. So, with that in mind, our job is to become experts at conflict resolution. The issue is people being honest with themselves about whether or not their actions line up with the principles for life found in the Bible. If their actions are Biblical people prosper in their relationships, if not, relationships deteriorate. I love the Word, I bear witness to it’s power in my life and in the lives of others we’ve been associated with in our 30 years of ministry.
God is the master designer, why would we rely on our own opinion verses that of the creator of the Universe? If our own opinion is our guide for life we’ll find ourselves in sad shape before long, because our own opinion is tainted by sin, and self centered interests. Go to the Word for answers. Your opinion or your emotional response might seem right in the heat of the argument but nine times out of ten further complicate the issue. Go to the Word for answers, let God be the third party in resolving conflicts.
