Nine times out of ten, arguments usually escalate because one person gets defensive, and they accidentally buy into the saying, “The best defense is a good offense.” The problem there is that Jesus doesn’t necessarily want you to be on offense. He wants you to love His creation in the same way that He does. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that when you get into a conflict with other people, don’t look horizontally… that is, don’t only look at them. Look vertically, and how God would treat others in the situation.
