Jim, a Canadian leader in the telecommunications field, was leading a cross-functional team on a significant project. One member of the team became antagonistic.
Jim started to remove this person from the team when he decided to try to reconcile one more time. As he did, Jim felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to ask if this person was a man of faith.
Turned out, he was also a Christian! They resolved the issues by both agreeing to look at the problem from God’s perspective.
Matthew 6:33 teaches, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
When two Christians have conflict, it can reflect poorly on our faith. If both seek first the Kingdom, resolution is more likely.
