How To ‘Fight’

Like AChristian

1. GO TALK IT OUT

“If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him...work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend.

Matthew 18:15

1. GO TALK IT OUT23 “This is how I want you to conduct yourself in

these matters. If you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has

against you,24 abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and work

things out with God.MATTHEW 5:23-24

2. BE QUICK TO FORGIVE.

3 “Be alert. If you see your friend going wrong, correct him. If he responds, forgive him.4 Even if it’s personal against you and repeated seven

times through the day, and seven times he says, ‘I’m sorry, I won’t do it again,’ forgive

him.”Luke 17:3-4

3. DO NOT LET THESUN GO DOWN.

26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

27 and do not give the devil a foothold.EPHESIANS 4:26-27

4. STOP THE FIGHTBEFORE IT HAPPENS.

➡ BE QUICK TO LISTEN AND SLOW TO ANGER.

➡OVERLOOK THE OFFENSE.

➡HOLD BACK YOUR ANGER.

➡GIVE A SOFT ANSWER.

The start of a quarrel is like a leak in a dam,so stop it before it bursts.PROVERBS 17:14

GO & TALK ABOUT IT

FORGIVE QUICKLY AND OFTEN

DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN

STOP A FIGHT BEFORE IT HAPPENS
