Resolving Conflict and Dealing with Anger - May 5

 

"When you boil down a lot of destructive arguments, what you often find is a simple lack of facts.  The conflicts begin when an individual sees something that bothers him and then draws a conclusion.  But what he thinks he sees may not be true at all.  There's nothing new about this advice.  James, the Lord's brother, wrote, "My dear brothers, take note of this:  Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry" (James 1:19, NIV)."
