Handling a dispute between church members can be tricky. Often times gossip will be spread (intentionally or unintentionally), feelings will be hurt, and people leave.
Missing in the whole discussion is what *actually* happened to cause the split in the first place. That’s why Matthew 18 is so important — it gives a step by step playbook of how to handle church disputes in a way that emphasizes relationships instead of winning.
If followed properly, many churches would be reconciled instead of splitting. All it takes is a little bit of humility from everyone.

CloseOne of the accusations that is so often leveled at Christians is that we're "narrow-minded" in our approach to life. If that's true, then let it be because that's how our Master taught us to be. Hypocrisy and bigotry is not excusable, but being "narrow-minded" in response to our faith is not only advisable, but the only acceptable position that God has allowed us to have.
