It has been refreshing this week to hear the feedback from last week's teaching on Conflict. It's available here if you want to listen. When I grew up, it was in a tradition of altar calls. The end of the message draws you to confront your short-coming in the face of what God wants to do through you, and draws you to a place of prayer to sort it out with God.
At SRC tradition meets logistics, and an altar call is impossible. Instead I draw people to next steps to be played out at the altar of real life. I try to end my teachings with an understanding of what the scripture teaches and the challenge to go live it out. Last week was that kind of message for sure. And there were people who needed to engage some constructive conflict. I'm glad God is working in these lives, and pray that it leads to a family that is more like what the family of God is supposed to be like.
