Church: This is How We Do It pt. 3 - A Willingness to Communicate

The greatest danger to churches today is an unwillingness to have tough conversations with each other. The Devil's greatest tool is division. If he can cause churches to fight amongst themselves, they will fail.Communication’s greatest gift is its ability to resolve conflict and build connections that aren’t easily destroyed. “Excellent communication doesn’t just happen naturally. It is a product of process, skill, climate, relationship, and hard work.” - Pat McMillanIf you have a problem with a brother or sister in Christ, the only person you should discuss that problem with, to begin with, is them. If you haven’t given your brother or sister a chance to correct their ills, don’t expect your pastor to do it for you. Communication is a matter of correction, not a seed of animosity.Our communication must be grounded in love.We must remember that the goal of our communication is restoration.Matthew 18:15-16, Ephesians 4:26-27, Proverbs 10:12
