FB Just wanted to share...

What do you usually do with the forwarded emails you get from your friends, co-workers, or relatives? Do you immediately route them to your trash bin, forward it along to a list of other people you regularly forward emails to or, , read it then forward it to people you know who should get it? To be honest, I usually get rid of the emails after perusing them if at all. Today though I got an email from a friend and I though I should share it with all those in the same situation as Malou and I, who are in a loving and supportive relationship and are getting married.

HOW TO DISAGREE AUGUST 11, 2005

“They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company.
Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus” – Acts 15:39

Since 1949, Cliff Barrows has been the Music and Program
Director for the Billy Graham Crusades. From 1950 to the
present, he has served as the Program Director for "Hour of
Decision" radio program. During Billy Graham Crusades, he is
known for singing songs like, “His Eye is on the Sparrow,” and
often, lead the congregation in “Just As I Am.”

He has said that early on in the Billy Graham Ministry, the four
men who would be instrumental in its success decided on four
core values. They were “integrity, accountability, purity, and
humility.” These values are central in all the ministry does and the
team prays over all issues all of the time. It has been instrumental
in keeping them together for more than 50 years.

Cliff said one time, “There are twelve words that hold a family
together....” In fact, we could say, these twelve words will hold a
marriage together, a family together, a church together and most
other relationships together.

These twelve words are: “I WAS WRONG. I AM SORRY.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I LOVE YOU.”

Disagreements will come, how you handle them will either bring
glory or dishonor to the Lord. Today in prayer, thank Christ that
in every disagreement, there is a way that can bring glory to
Christ.

“Ask the Lord to help you resolve conflicts in ways that bring the
greatest glory to the Lord. Demonstrate the highest wisdom in
respect to each person’s gifts, callings and spiritual maturity.”
– Paul Fritz

God’s Word: “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies
and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are
unprofitable and useless.” – Titus 3:9
