Pointing out someone's blindspots can feel like walking through a field of land mines. If you step in the wrong spot... However, sometimes love means having difficult conversations. As disciples, we need to overhaul our idea of gracious, loving confrontation. 

Scammers are good at masquerading as the real thing and tricking people into doing things that are contrary to their own well being. Just like that, sin is a scam. It promises the very thing that it will eventually steal. It promises happiness and delivers sorrow. It promises freedom and delivers slavery. Worst of all sin makes it harder to believe that there is a Savior who doesn't want to condemn us but heal us.

Whether we like it or not conflict will inevitably be part of life in a church family. The good news is that, if handled right, this can be a healthy opportunity to show love, grace and humility. If we all are determined to lean into the humility and sacrificial love of Christ then, we may disagree but conflict won't be able to divide us.
