Have you ever experienced a heated argument in FMC？What do you think was the cause? How did you handle it at that time? What does today's Scripture remind you about dealing with conflicts in church? Have you recently found yourself in some conflict or difference of opinion with a believer or some believers? How do you feel about it? How do you find a balance between truth and love?
