TAKE OFF YOUR MASK Dealing With Conflict

We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don't maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don't twist God's Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God. – 2 Corinthians 4: 2 (MSG)

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief. – Proverbs 14: 13 (ESV)

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. – James 4: 12 a (ESV)

1. BRING THE CONFLICT TO GOD

1. BRING THE CONFLICT TO GOD Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4: 6 -7 (ESV)

1. BRING THE CONFLICT TO GOD Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. – 1 Peter 5: 67 (ESV)

2. TAKE A DEEP LOOK WITHIN MYSELF

2. TAKE A DEEP LOOK WITHIN MYSELF Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye, ’ when there is the log in your own eye? – Matthew 7: 3 -4 (ESV)

3. ALLOW GOD TO DO HIS WORK IN ME

3. ALLOW GOD TO DO HIS WORK IN ME In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. – 1 Peter 1: 6 -7 (ESV)

4. FORGIVE ANY WRONGS AND MOVE ON

4. FORGIVE ANY WRONGS AND MOVE ON Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times? ” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. ” – Matthew 18: 21 -22 (ESV)
