THE BIBLE MEETS LIFE: War breaks out when people or nations disagree on borders. The nations of Chile and Argentina were close to just such a war at the beginning of the 20th century. Fortunately, they came up with a peaceful resolution. In honor of their agreement, they erected a statue that still stands today. Conflict happens, but what ultimately causes the most damage is mishandling conflict. You’ll probably never build a statue to commemorate the end of a conflict. But you can always handle conflict with clear communication—and always bring glory to God.
THE POINT: Leaders deal with conflict using straightforward communication.
