People who used to be best friends can suddenly act like our worst enemies. These two women used to be best friends and now the wife is barely speaking to the minister. My friend has done nothing wrong, except do everything right. The minister s wife is seething with jealousy. These things are so difficult to work with and work around.
Reconciliation is sorely necessary, because it is soul damaging, and church divisive.
The devil loves it when he can cause division like this. Anything to halt the progress of the work of God. I know that many of you are facing these kinds of things. And nothing has worked. That s why he tells us, first of all, to take the shield of faith.
