Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Deuteronomy 27:24)

We have to be imitators of Christ to resolve conflicts

In Matthew 20:20-28, the disciples James and John ask for a preferential position in the Kingdom of God, which causes the other disciples to be offended. Jesus confronts them all and explains that in the Kingdom of God, leadership is processed in a very different way than in the world. He contrasts the pride, selfishness, and ambition of the disciples with His own attitude of service, self-denial, and surrender to the Will of the Father.

If our churches and ministries were conducted according to these principles, they would be places of peace, harmony, and blessing instead of conflict. Read more...
