[1167.42 --> 1168.02] And maybe this is |
[1168.02 --> 1168.76] what I need to say. |
[1169.62 --> 1170.98] If you are that person |
[1170.98 --> 1171.98] who has done everything |
[1171.98 --> 1173.42] you can towards reconciliation, |
[1174.22 --> 1174.98] true forgiveness, |
[1175.36 --> 1176.56] not seeking revenge, |
[1177.14 --> 1178.92] God sees that. |
[1180.24 --> 1181.40] And He knows. |
[1182.58 --> 1184.12] No one else might see it. |
[1184.68 --> 1185.32] The other person |
[1185.32 --> 1185.92] you're in conflict |
[1185.92 --> 1186.78] might twist it |
[1186.78 --> 1187.52] and all the rest, |
[1187.62 --> 1188.98] but God knows exactly |
[1188.98 --> 1189.90] what you've gone through |
[1189.90 --> 1191.42] and the way that you have |
[1191.42 --> 1192.64] sought to be faithful |
[1192.64 --> 1193.42] to Jesus |
[1193.42 --> 1195.50] in the midst of conflict. |
[1196.22 --> 1197.08] I think some of us |
[1197.08 --> 1197.92] need to hear that. |
[1198.76 --> 1200.50] I'm also guessing |
[1200.50 --> 1201.74] that most of us |
[1201.74 --> 1203.40] need to hear exactly |
[1203.40 --> 1204.04] how it is |
[1204.04 --> 1205.16] that Paul's saying it. |
[1205.90 --> 1209.14] To go as far as we can. |
[1210.26 --> 1211.94] To build the bridge. |
[1212.52 --> 1213.40] To open the door |
[1213.40 --> 1214.22] for reconciliation. |
[1214.90 --> 1216.20] To start the conversation. |
[1217.14 --> 1218.70] It's my pastoral gut |
[1218.70 --> 1220.14] that says most of us |
[1220.14 --> 1221.52] don't give reconciliation |
[1221.52 --> 1223.10] enough time. |
[1223.64 --> 1225.52] We don't give it enough work. |
[1226.48 --> 1227.34] And so practically, |
[1227.34 --> 1229.02] I think if we're hearing |
[1229.02 --> 1229.90] Paul correctly, |
[1230.32 --> 1231.86] it's saying that we should |
[1231.86 --> 1232.42] reach out |
[1232.42 --> 1234.32] to those with whom |
[1234.32 --> 1235.36] we might have conflict. |
[1236.12 --> 1237.46] To set up the coffee. |
[1238.56 --> 1240.34] To open up that conversation. |
[1241.14 --> 1243.26] To have that talk. |
[1244.00 --> 1244.76] And just again, |
[1244.82 --> 1246.76] a little pastoral sidebar here. |
[1247.32 --> 1248.76] Don't do this by text. |
[1249.80 --> 1250.90] How many of you |
[1250.90 --> 1252.32] have had a deeply reconciling |
[1252.32 --> 1253.72] conversation by text? |
[1255.00 --> 1256.34] That's what I thought. |
[1257.62 --> 1258.62] In person, |
[1259.04 --> 1259.80] if possible, |
[1260.02 --> 1260.64] by phone, |
[1260.72 --> 1261.42] if necessary, |
[1261.76 --> 1262.64] do not text |
[1262.64 --> 1264.16] unless you absolutely have to. |
[1264.68 --> 1265.98] I've seen so many |
[1265.98 --> 1267.26] would-be possible |
[1267.26 --> 1268.50] reconciling situations |
[1268.50 --> 1269.16] go sideways |
[1269.16 --> 1270.56] when someone sends a text |
[1270.56 --> 1271.26] that can be misread, |
[1271.36 --> 1271.76] misunderstood, |
[1272.00 --> 1272.84] and deepened the divide. |
[1272.84 --> 1275.36] If communication |
[1275.36 --> 1276.34] has broken down, |
[1277.36 --> 1278.66] that's when you call |
[1278.66 --> 1279.24] the counselor |
[1279.24 --> 1281.00] or the family mediator. |
[1281.10 --> 1281.82] And I'm delighted, |
[1281.96 --> 1282.26] by the way, |
[1282.30 --> 1283.06] that it just so happens |
[1283.06 --> 1283.60] that this Sunday |
[1283.60 --> 1284.10] is a Sunday |
[1284.10 --> 1285.12] where we're giving |
[1285.12 --> 1285.36] to, |
[1285.54 --> 1286.76] not Peace Portal Counseling, |
[1286.86 --> 1288.10] to Soul Matters Counseling, |
[1288.46 --> 1288.80] Elsha, |
[1288.90 --> 1289.84] who's running that, |
[1289.98 --> 1290.70] she is a member |
[1290.70 --> 1291.28] of our church, |
[1291.52 --> 1292.36] and we are delighted |
[1292.36 --> 1293.06] that we can use |
[1293.06 --> 1294.08] the funds in our church |
[1294.08 --> 1295.18] to bless people |
[1295.18 --> 1296.10] to receive the care |
[1296.10 --> 1296.48] they need |
[1296.48 --> 1297.50] when they can't talk, |
[1297.66 --> 1298.48] when the communication |
[1298.48 --> 1299.34] is broken down. |
[1300.14 --> 1301.22] In my own family, |
[1301.66 --> 1302.66] we brought in a counselor |
[1302.66 --> 1303.76] to help some wounds |
[1303.76 --> 1305.24] in our family system. |
[1305.64 --> 1306.28] Family mediators |
