How should Christians handle serious disagreements with friends without allowing pride, jealousy, or the need to be right to damage the relationship? Emily Rose Massey shares honestly about a theological disagreement with a close friend that eventually contributed to the end of their friendship. Looking back, she recognizes how talking about the conflict publicly rather than addressing her friend directly allowed selfish ambition and frustration to influence her response. Drawing from James 3:16-17, this devotional and prayer encourages Christians to examine their own hearts during friendship conflict and pursue the wisdom Scripture describes as peaceable, gentle, open to reason, merciful, impartial, and sincere.
