"Never refuse an assignment except when there is a conflict of interest, a potential of danger to you or your family, or you hold a strongly biased attitude about the subject under focus."
Jessica Savitch
"Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude."
William James
hope for
those who've had
setbacks & conflicts
You may have had good teaching as you grew up, but failed to sow good things. Conflicts separate us from God and his Holy Spirit, who enables us to surrender to God and trust His will for our lives. We can easily live our lives without God. That is how things are in this world. But finding the humility and courage to face those conflicts comes through Christ and his Holy Spirit. May we find the strength to repent and follow Him daily.
Some children and young adults who are raised in Christian families experience confusion and doubts about their faith when they leave home, when they face antagonistic views in college, when they stop going to church, when they date or marry an an unbeliever, or when personal sin separates them from God. The testing of one's faith can have a beneficial effect when one is able to honestly share with another Christian brother or sister what is happening in their life. Parents and grandparents can also offer prayer and support during these difficult periods of life. If this has happened to you, please ask God for courage to share what's happening in your life. Don't avoid your family or your church during this difficult time. God can bring you home.
