| Summary: |
This article contains many practical suggestions for dealing with conflict resolution in situations involving human dysfunction involving weakness and wrongness and in biblical discipline to restore people and organizations. |
| Gems: |
We all tend to see ourselves as right in the face of interpersonal tensions (and see the other party as being wrong!). Friends can become fiends; leaders can become lepers. Organizations become ogre-nizations. Labeling others' differences as being dysfunctional, although a "normal" tendency for us all, is clearly dysfunctional itself. We need to be grace-oriented disciples rather than judgment-oriented derelicts. |
