Conflict Resolution Trainer, Disagreement, Relationships and Dignity
Jesus said, "You will know a tree by its fruit" (Matthew 7:20).
There is a song I hear once a year that pops up on the radio that says, "I fought the law and the law won."
The attitude and push back people give over simple requests related to social grace (like taking off your shoes in someone's home, or covering your mouth when coughing) is rather revealing.
When I was a boy, my father had a temper but he also had a conscience and could apologize.
Unfortunately the more you condemn and ridicule others in the right, the more poverty, shame and misery shall come upon you (read James 5:6).
"He that justifies the wicked, and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord" (Proverbs 17:15).
God gives grace to the humble, but resists the proud (James 4:6).
If God can resist proud disrespectful people, why can't I do likewise (even if they are family)?
Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law" (Matthew 10:34-35).
Sometimes to be a peacemaker as a son of God (Matthew 5:9), you first have to set the standards, expectations and perimeters of a relationship to ensure and preserve mutual respect.
Ironically they who respect God the least often want to play God and manipulate situations and people the most.
