The church consists entirely of sinners, this side of glory; therefore, church life often includes conflict, this side of glory.
Conflict regularly occurs in the church. If experience doesn’t teach this reality, then we only need turn to the pages of the New Testament for verification. Paul and Barnabas separate (Acts 15:36-41), divisions arise in Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:10-17), accusations are hurled at apostles (2 Corinthians 10), pride disrupts (Galatians 2:11-14), personal disagreement festers (Philippians 4:2-3), sin abounds (James 2), etc. The church consists entirely of sinners, this side of glory; therefore, church life often includes conflict, this side of glory.
