Critical Juncture

How do you turn "issues" into "non-issues?"

Kim commented on Resolution Six:
So they've already broken the UPC resolution...why not ammend it. For many it's a non-issue.
Don blogged his final thoughts and this statement resonated with me:
Do you know what the real danger is in this whole debate? It's that my brother has ceased to be my brother. I have seen some of the most virulent comments directed from minister to minister regarding this issue.
The division and side-taking regarding Resolution Six is horrible. How can this be pleasing to God?

Bringing it home

No need to post details, but there is a situation that I am dealing with that I desperately want to not think about any.more. I'm tired of rehashing conversations, analyzing and dissecting for possible undertones and hidden meanings.

So, I ask you.

How can we turn division of any level into unity? Personally and corporately? How does such a breach get healed?

Questions, comments, concerns? Please feel free to E-mail me!

Sounds like to me you need to write an article for 90&9 w/your thoughts on this issue! :)

I certainly don't have the answer. How do you have disagreements without offense. We have to agree to disagree I suppose.Is everything black and white? Can't two sides be right? What bout everything in moderation?? It's a really touchy issue that I'm glad I'm not having to make.

The bigger issue is that it has placed brother against brother. Who would have thought it would become such a war? This says a lot about our inner Jesus.
