Conflict Resolution

Some sinful ways to resolve conflicts:
- Let time heal it. (Matthew 5:23-24; Ephesians 4:26)
- Try to bury it.
- Pretend it never happened. (Philippians 4:8a)
- Wait for the other person to initiate the resolution process. (Matthew 5:23-24)
- Punish the other person until they change and take all the blame. (Galatians 6:1; Romans 12:9-20)
