What Damages Relationships?

RECOGNIZING YOUR OWN FAULTS. Everyone loves to play the blame game. We point at the other person in the relationship as the problem. They must change their behavior and attitude—it’s not our fault there are relational wounds and scars. However, Romans 2:1 would disagree. It says, “You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself because you who pass judgment do the same things.” What if, instead of looking across the table at the other person to find fault, we looked in the mirror? What if we turned off the flashing “ME” light and sought reconciliation rather than casting judgment? Join the GR8 Relationships ministry in What Damages Relationships to examine how to understand the battle between designs and judgments in our relationships and how it contrasts with God’s perfect solution for healthy and fulfilling relationships.
