BOA#78 - Would You Rather Be Right or Reconciled? - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

I once attended a city-wide prayer gathering and heard the preacher, Joseph Garlington, ask a life-challenging, life-changing question: Would you rather be right or reconciled?

Would you rather stand your position, your convictions and your pain or would you rather be reconciled? That can be a very challenging question in our day! It’s becoming increasingly common for us on all sides of an issue or a situation to buy into a culture of contempt. It’s always easier to criticize than to advance and resolve. This isn’t a question of abandoning your viewpoints or ignoring your pain, but it is a question of how you go about valuing people and looking for a path to reconciliation, of showing respect even when you differ from them. How might you go about sustaining or repairing relationships without sacrificing what you hold to be true?“ God, being rich in mercy… made us alive together with Christ.” In mercy, our Lord has withheld penalty we deserve and offers reconciliation. Will you be a person of mercy?
