How do you handle conflict? Stand and fight, run and hide, or something else? We learn from Jesus that sometimes retreating further isn't an option. Neither is fighting someone on their level. God's servant only faces conflict by the Spirit of God who is always ready to give us the right thing to say (when we have to speak).
If you are getting started in a relationship with God, trying to have a quiet time or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.
Spend your first fifteen minutes of the day listening to God and responding in a personal way. This podcast will show you how and teach you in an easy to follow process.
In fifteen minutes (or less) you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. What a perfect way to get started!
The featured scripture in this episode is Matt 12:22-32. Jesus continues his healing ministry then answers his opponents who slander him. They claim he drives out demons by Satan's power, and Jesus responds that any house divided against itself can't stand. God is forgiving of sin, but if someone can look straight at the work of God and call it the work of the devil, their own perversity will cut them off from turning to God for forgiveness.
