Article of the Week:
Three Powerful Questions to Unlock the Heart of Your Teen
By Chap Bettis
1. "How do we draw out the deeper waters of the heart? Simply asking, 'How would you like me to pray for you?' is one good place to start."
2. "What do you think I don't understand?"
3. "How do you think I have sinned against you?"
"First, you are admitting that you may not understand the issue.
Second, you are admitting you may have sinned against them. You are not at this point admitting you have sinned, but you are inviting their perspective.
Third, the Lord will honor the humility in these questions. Even if you don't change your mind about the conflict, your teen will have felt heard and cared for."

We started a new Sunday School series this Sunday, October 8th. The title above may seem strange to you. It may be strange because I think our natural inclination is to foster only happy and easy relationships. Once messiness arises, we go in a different direction seeking easy, new relationships. We believe the lie that avoiding conflict is the best option. But God commands us to respond differently to conflict. Conflict is good! Conflict is unavoidable in a healthy, Biblical relationship. It is good because by handling conflict in a gospel manner, conflict makes us more like Christ. To become more like Christ is a our mission therefore remaining steadfast in our relationships is good.
