In this message on handling marital conflict God’s way, Pastor Byron teaches from James 3 that conflict in marriage stems from three primary sources: differences in backgrounds and perspectives, wrong responses to offenses, and pride/flesh. Drawing from James’ contrast between earthly wisdom (characterized by jealousy and selfish ambition) and wisdom from above (which is pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy, unwavering, and without hypocrisy), he emphasizes that resolving conflict requires walking in God’s Spirit rather than the flesh, extending grace and the benefit of the doubt to one’s spouse, and maintaining a pure desire for peace and reconciliation.
