Keys to Conflict

When facing conflict, it’s often our first response to blame the other person. We are quick to point out what they did or said that hurt us. But James 4:1–10 tells us the root cause of our conflicts are unmet desires in our own hearts. Instead of letting these desires control us, we are called to humbly submit to God and allow Him to transform us. Conflict, though inevitable, reveals our loyalties and whether we’re truly aligning with God or with worldly thinking. Conflict resolution begins with self-examination.
