This blog is currently undergoing a re-purposing. Please stay tuned.

Biblical Confrontation, Part 1:

New job orientation often included how to handle conflict.

Employees are to talk to the person with whom they have a problem, then escalate it up the ladder: If Jimmy steals your stapler, you talk to him about it. If there's no resolution or you're not comfortable talking to Jimmy, you go to your supervisor. Repeat the steps with your supervisor and their boss, etc. until there's resolution.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Bible taught us how to handle conflict, problems, and sin1? Not in the workplace, but in regular life, dealing with other people who are supposed to be Christians.

The Bible teaches two types of confrontation that I'll blog on over the next few days, followed by a discussion about unity.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, and if I write anything incorrectly, please let me know!


Footnotes

1 Sin of others that affects you. One's personal sin is clearly dealt with in the Bible, with emphases on honest admittance (confession), changing your mind and thus your behavior (repentance), and seeking reconciliation with others. See Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5:23-24
