We can’t see with the log in our eye.
Reconciliation is impeded when we have a log in our eye, while we are getting after someone who has only a speck in their eye in comparison to what’s in our eye.
Intro
As we try to work things out with the log still in our eye, we bang others in the face or head.
Other people can see better for us sometimes because we are so blinded by our own logs.
That’s the role of the church board, parental intervention, the objective view of those not directly involved.
In other words, even though the spirit is in our lives, we can fall down the slippery slope.
We will fall.
The spirit convicts and empowers us to heal and take the steps needed towards full reconciliation.
And the spirit commissions the church leaders to help with individuals who are going through a tough patch.
This is part of the first steps of reconciling.
Self examination.
introspection.
Getting the log out.
Being honest with your opponent, the other side.
Sometimes is takes surgery for both.
sawdust, splinters in the eyes, it’s aggravating, and requires a certain amount of healing and recuperation before being able to see better again.
Sometimes therapy, counseling, many prayer sessions.
Same for the log.
Major surgery, recuperation time is needed.
Sometimes therapy, counseling, many prayer sessions.
Meanwhile ministry and mission goals and objectives go on around us, and in spite of us.
Paul and Barnabas had to do this among themselves concerning John Mark…They went on in a divided state to get the goals accomplished in spite of the logs and splinters that were impeding their reconciliation efforts.
We will focus on other people’s problems to avoid our own.
That is the slippery slope of denial, defensiveness, smoke screen, etc.
It is not a passage with a core message indicating that we should ignore everything that is causing conflict or going against principles....The core is love god, on these hang law and prophets.
From there we apply and make subset guidelines that get adjusted depending on circumstances.
[We have to help them see that we see a full picture.
It will take them to give up that view and to restore leadership and have to work with us.

Matthew 7:1
This isn’t saying we shouldn’t judge at all.
Is it not saying that we shouldn’t handle differences.
Conflict
Conflict
Conflict is a difference in opinion or purpose that frustrates someone’s goals or desires.
We are using the Bible to guide us in how we handle conflict.
That is what this passage from Jesus’ sermon on the mount is covering.
Me (How do I struggle with this?)
I struggle as everyday, there is a difference of opinion or purpose that frustrates me, from politics, to ministry plans and mission endeavours, to family financial decisions, to how to spend time.
We (How do we all struggle with this?)
In the church, together we
God (What does the Bible say about this?)
The Four Primary Causes of Conflict
God made us to live life to the fullest.
()
We are being called to a ministry of reconciliation.
When we face conflicts it is an opportunity to glorify God in how we handle them.
Perhaps the reason we face so many unhealthy conflicts as a church is because we are being called to learn to be reconcilers so we can better reconcile with the community and lead people to Jesus.
Because if we can’t settle conflict in the church, it will impede our effectiveness in working with those who are not yet followers of Jesus.
For there is surely a going to be conflicts with them in terms of a difference of opinion or purpose.
