Conflicts among the members of the community are normally inevitable. These conflicts can arise due to misunderstanding among people or even misinterpretations of some statements uttered by the members of the community. Conflicts can also occur due to differences in religious values. The results of the disputes can lead to some of the people choosing very wrong courses of actions while a few of them can choose courses of actions that are not vital to either themselves or to every person who is involved in the misunderstanding.
An example of a conflict in our communities is when one member of the community, out of anger, uses abusive words to refer to another member of the community. When the other member realizes that they have been abused, they might either decide to abuse back the other member of the community or to forgive he abusive member and maybe go further to explain to them on the disadvantages of using insulting words to refer to another person. Looking at the first course of action, we realize that it can even lead to physically fighting which results in injuries or even death. This kind of instances has been portrayed in the bible whereby we see that Jacob and Esau got into a conflict which led to Jacob leaving his family and his home for the sole purpose of evading Esau's treats which proved to be murderous.

Therefore, one thing that learnt and shall be used in life for ministry is that conflicts can either happen for a good or a bad reason and therefore should be avoided at all costs as Christians. During conflicts resolution, a mediator is always there to bring together the victims by getting a win-win solution, and in other cases, these mediators’ help in moderating the harshness experienced among the victims. Looking at the positive part of conflicts is that it can bring together people and these people can restore back their initial status. Despite this, conflicts as many harms as compared to benefits as it can lead to destructive actions, arsons or even the permanent break up of family or friendly ties.
One question for the author shall be: As a Christian how do you ensure that you are never involved in any case of conflicts? Is such a situation of being conflict-free occur in our lives considering the fact that everyone lives in a society where each person has their own opinion?
