Galatians 2:11-16

11But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed.

12For before certain men came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.

13And the other Jews joined likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their hypocrisy.

14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

15We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

We are justified by faith alone not by works.

*ask the question what is at stake

*confront right up front

The cause of conflict

Honest disagreement, personality clash, matter of communication, jealousy.

*people suppress it

*they don’t acknowledge it at all

*they blame somebody else

*you cannot live in conflict with somebody it divides your mind and effect your emotions. Your relationship with GOD and expect Him to answer your prayer.

*person will never discover himself if you don’t deal with conflict. It may cause bitterness. Are you a person who has courage, so immature, so insecure you cannot face them?

Keep your peace, joy, happiness, spirit of kindness and generosity.
