Have you ever felt so angry at a fellow church member that you held fictitious arguments in your mind? Ever seethed silently during a church meeting while keeping up a façade of calm? Have you ever felt marginalized, misunderstood, or maligned by your brothers and sisters in Christ? If so, you are not alone. What you decide to do with those feelings and beliefs, though, is important. Bring in a third party—like the pastor, a deacon, or another church helper—to help both sides sort through the problem. God does not promise us a life without strife, but He does promise to be with us through every part of life.
