DIALOGUE

Occasionally I'm involved in conflict - now don't tell me I'm the only one!


There's the spouse, the children, the grandchildren, work, volunteer activities, etc  
We don't always see eye to eye (surprised??!!)  
Interactions sometimes result in...

"Dialogue"
(what a nice way to say it!)

Recently I was struck by this comment--

"Dialogue should never degenerate into WHO is right,
but should focus on WHAT is right."*

And how do we know WHAT is right?  
Because we know WHO wrote the Good Book.

And why do we focus on WHAT is right?
Because God is RIGHT-EOUS.


(*Beth Moore, So Long Insecurity, p. 254, quoting Rob Jackson, counselor)
