Matt and Anne discuss Matthew 18 and why it is so important for Christians to obey Jesus and not avoid conflict on the one hand or resort to gossip on the other. Matthew 18 is the best way to avoid bitterness, prevent the formation of factions and cliques and fueds, and to act in love toward people who sin against you rather than making them your enemies. Many if not most church splits can probably be traced back to a decision not to go to a person face to face.
