Let's settle this!

What this episode covers

Sadly, I have seen and been brought into church fights. I've seen church leaders resign in disgust. I've heard people say things I can hardly believe I've heard from the mouths of those claiming the name of Christ. Perhaps these behaviors were not of that character. But there was no doubt some real energy behind the conversations.  The solution, however, was not arrived at by fisticuffs, or resignations. The solution was to seek the wisdom and help of those who were charged with guiding the church, and centering the mission in faith in Jesus Christ. The Let's Settle This solution was to be founded on the message of salvation that is for all people. We'll see that in this chapter. And we're living it today. We call ourselves Christians and take our place in the kingdom of God by grace through faith. And that settles it.
