Day 20: restoring broken fellowship

Conflict... I'm thankful God gave us the guidance to resolve it while maintaining relationships. The two pieces that struck me most were:

First, take it to God first. We need to talk to God before we talk to the person.

Second, attack the problem, not the person. You cannot fix the problem if you're consumed with fix the blame.

I also like how Warren ends the chapter telling us that God expects unity not uniformity. We should reconcile our relationships and work to resolve our issues, but we can agree to disagree.
