The anger could erupt over important matters or personal irritations. That's what we are going to attempt to answer in the remaining pages of this study. Before we do, though, there's one other important matter we need to keep in mind . Conflict is unavoidable and not necessarily bad. We don't need to feel guilty just because we are involved in church conflict.
Trouble is unavoidable.
Conflict will come. It comes to the best of churches, to the best of spiritual leaders, to the best of church boards, and to the best of friendships. Conflict came to Jesus and His inner circle. It came between Paul and Barnabas, and Paul and Peter. Conflict came not only to the immature church of Corinth, but to the much more mature church in Philippi.
