In this episode, Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock discuss an article from Jim Elliff about dealing with interpersonal conflict in ministry without losing your soul.
- I will accept whatever means God may use to make me more humble and therefore more dependent on Him.
- I will seek to peacefully and humbly to resolve the conflict face to face immediately, unless it is providentially impossible to do so.
- I will thoroughly repent of any known sin in my life and will sincerely express my repentance to those who are concerned, even if there is blame on the other side.
- I will be painfully accurate in my words about myself, even if it embarrasses or condemns me.
- I will gladly leave vengeance to God, who sees and evaluates with perfection.
- I will give thanks in everything, and rejoice in the Lord always, for this is safe for me.
- I will forgive from my heart when I’m asked to forgive.
- I will refuse to let Satan, the archenemy of believers, gain the ultimate victory in this conflict.
