Behind the Mask

**(2 Corinthians 4:2 MSG) “We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don’t maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes… Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open…”

(Proverbs 14:13 TLB) Laughter cannot mask a heavy heart. When the laughter ends, the grief remains.**

When conflict arises, we are tempted to…

  1. it.

  2. it.

  3. it.

  4. it.

  5. it.

Unmasking Conflict

(James 4:1-3 NIV) “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”
