But, the question is Why Does Conflict Exist? What is the cause, or source of conflict? There are basically
five reasons.
1. Change. Change is inevitable. In fact, we live in a time that change happens so rapidly, it is impossible
to keep up. To mention change within the church setting sends people all up in arms. The fear of change,
taking the slippery slope to liberalism, has hindered the growth and development of the church. Change
may not be the number one reason for conflict, but it definitely ranks high on the list of the challenges that
exist.
2. We live in a complex and diverse world. The multi-ethnic nature of our culture increases on a daily
basis. The complexity of numerous cultures, coupled with the diversity of opinion, education, religion,
political views, medical advances, technology, and the list goes on, creates conflict on several fronts.
When we consider the influence of social media as it relates to the complexity and diversity of our world,
matters only worsen.
3. We interact with people. It has been said that leadership would be easy if it weren\u2019t for dealing with
people. Perhaps this is true, but our business is people. Obviously, when we interact with people we face
much of the diversity previously mentioned. People come from all sorts of backgrounds, cultures, values,
belief systems, influences, etc. and the result is a difference in the way we all see the world we live in
today. When these differences are identified, we will often experience conflict.
4. Lack of communication. For all the advances in technology, it is amazing to consider how poorly we
communicate. Apart from Facebook, LinkedIn, SnapChat, and multiple other forms of social media, the
use of texting, PM, and email has not improved our ability to communicate effectively. The lack of
effective communication is also a top ranking reason for the conflict in our world. Barriers in language,
semantics, culture, and form can complicate matters further, but we have the ability to communicate more
effectively when we choose to do so. It is possible that our assuming others understand is a key factor in
our poor ability to communicate.
5. We cannot control all situations. Doesn\u2019t this sound interesting. As Christians, we quickly say that
God is in control of all things. Yet, we spend so much of our time and energy attempting to control every
aspect of our lives and often the lives of others. Somehow, we have convinced ourselves that if we are in
control we will be happy. When this happens, we need to prepare for conflict because the majority of
others feel the same way. They want control also and when two people strive for control, conflict will
follow.
Think about these reasons and share if you have other ideas related to the source or cause of conflict. Do
you agree with these reasons or disagree? If so, why? If not, why not? In future weeks we will discuss
how to overcome these challenges and provide a solution for the conflict that exists <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
