Today's Christian lesson is on resolving disputes between believers. As we learned yesterday, we are taught to stay away from the courts when resolving disputes with other believers. So how are we to resolve disputes with other Christians? Here is what the Bible says about this matter...
“If your (Christian) brother (or sister) sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your (Christian) brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others (Christians) along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. (treat him as you would an outsider / non-Christian )" Matthew 18:15-17
