Throughout Scripture, but especially in John 17, God makes it clear that the greatest apologetic for the deity of Christ, for the truth claims of the Gospel message, is the unity of the Body of Christ. I believe that this unity starts in the home. If there isn't unity in the marriage, there won't be unity in the family. If there isn't unity among the individual family units, there will never be unity in the church. What we don't allow God to accomplish among four or five people, He will never accomplish among four or five hundred.
There is a big difference between families with problems and problem families. All families experience stress and problems and have conflict. But healthy families value conflict and have the ability to handle problems in a constructive way. Families that don't face and deal with their problems become problem families. Healthy families understand that conflict is a normal part of being in relationship. In fact, it is not only normal but is also essential for the development of understanding, intimacy and unity.
What is your view of conflict? How well do you handle criticism? Do you welcome it? What are some of the differences between you and the significant others in your life? Is it possible that God has brought these individuals into your life for a purpose? What might God want to teach you through these difficult people?
Throughout this next week, choose to consider the potentially positive side of difference. Remember that each conflict provides a unique opportunity to better understand another persons' opinions and values. When faced with a conflict, pause briefly and ask God to help you use it as an opportunity for learning, growing and increasing maturity.

Welcome olison. You're the first one from Africa, and now we have fans from all the continents 
At least, I hope you're a fan of Lene. It would be correct post an introduction of ourselves or something related to Lene in the first post, since this is an official Lene Marlin's fan-club. You've posted 2 times the same and in the wrong Forum.
So, if you're fan, tell us please (you could do it here for ex.) how and when do you first listened about Lene.
P.s. Pay attention with those kind of topics. You're speaking such as you wanted to teach something, but the purpose of these forums is principally to share opinions, not teaching anything 
Cannot control this... this thing called Lene |

Marko, you've always got lovely precision in your words.  Anyway welcome Olison, pleased to meet you. Being staunch is great, but in this kind of place? I think it's best not to preach too much.
Reality is an illusion that occurs due to the lack of alcohol.
