God's Solution for Conflicts in Our Lives ~ Message 107

  This message is a study of the trait that God finds most offensive in His creation and goes into how God deals with it.  It also gives us the answer to all the conflicts in our lives and how to deal with them.

  There are many kinds of conflicts.  Some last just a few moments and others may last for many years.  The most painful conflicts are with family members or other believers.  The worst part is that there doesn’t seem to be any clear way to resolve them or a way around them.  Many are caused by other people, but create havoc in our lives by how they affect us.  Some are just a set of circumstances while others are differences in opinions.  Then there are the ones that are impossible to resolve because they are a result of backbiting and gossip that that can’t be contained, like feathers in the wind.  However, the most destructive by far is the conflict we engage in with our Creator, without even realizing it.

  This study is a result of seeking to understand how normal, hard working people with families can become so angry over an inconsiderate driver that they put everything they have at risk in defense of their ego.
