When a problem arises, or you feel hurt, it seems socially acceptable to grumble and complain to anyone who will listen. This is what most people do, after all! However, Pastor John will remind you today that God asks you to handle it a little differently. He’ll encourage you to go to people in authority first, those who could make a change. Take your problem, in love and kindness, to your pastor or the elders, and be willing to have an honest dialogue!
