1. As a body of Christ we are supposed to treat others the way we want to be treated, and when we enter into conflict we must be careful that when we are arguing with someone, we must argue but show respect and the idea of how we might want to be treated in such conflict.
2. If you have any sort of insight as to a possible conflict with someone else, you are to approach them in a tender, loving and caring way. The whole idea of if you confront someone and they deny what is happening, then you bring someone back with you. And if that does not work, you bring the church behind you to support you.
3. As someone who might be a part of the conflict and realize that they are in "the wrong" to be honest in front of God and front of those around you, it is your job to admit you are in the wrong. Admitting is the first step to fixing the problem.
4. Sometimes we ourselves as higher than others, causing conflict because of pride or being exclusive with who we spend time with, our love should not be selective, for God's is not.
5. Read 1 Corinthians 13, it describes a lot about love, showing its characteristics and we can apply those characteristics to any situation of conflict.
6. Conflict is not just personal, it can also be corporate and beyond the church. We can pray for conflict within our churches, for conflict between others, (not getting involved, just praying out of awareness that there is a conflict) and for conflict politically, culturally, racially, we are not bound by praying for certain things. God can work through our prayer to those who needs assistance ad-mist their conflict.
