This message uses the Bible and the Slippery Slope of Conflict from Peacemaker Ministries to illustrate God's way of resolving conflict. The Bible teaches us to avoid "escape" responses (pretending we're not angry when we are, blaming others for everything, or just leaving to avoid the conflict) and attack responses (put-downs, gossip, fighting). God's way is to use "work it out" responses (overlooking the offense, talking to the person, or getting help).
