Using Conflict for Good

Christianity was born out of conflict with the paganism of Greek culture and the traditionalism of the Hebrew religion. What’s true in history is also true for us. Many of us can look back at turning points in our lives and see how conflict produced good results. God is the master of using conflict for good.

In American history, the Watergate scandal that took down President Nixon is an interesting case in point. Nixon’s special counsel, Chuck Colson, was sent to prison for his part in the scandal. Out of this experience, Colson came to faith in Jesus and eventually founded Prison Fellowship, a Christian ministry that has transformed the lives of prisoners around the world.

What a comfort to know that God can take the worst conflict and use it for good in our lives.
