Confronting The Conflict

Conflict is inevitable in relationships, but how we handle it determines the outcome. While forgiveness and love are powerful tools, sometimes biblical confrontation becomes necessary for true healing and restoration. Many Christians mistakenly believe they should never speak up or challenge wrongdoing, but confrontation is actually a biblical principle when done God’s way. Jesus provided a clear four-step process in Matthew 18: go directly to the person, bring a witness if needed, involve church leadership, and set healthy boundaries. The goal must always be restoration, not retaliation, approaching others with both grace and truth to bring peace and reconciliation.
