Recently there has been some real backbiting and dissension in our church, and the young people are asking me how this can be happening in a Christian church. What can I tell M.V.B.

DEAR MRS. 1. know you are in a difficult position, but you also are in an important one, because God can use you to help these young people to a greater maturity in their faith. You will want to avoid either of two extremes. On one hand, you want to avoid being judgmental toward the adults who seem to be causing the problem.

On the other hand, you want to avoid acting as if there is no problem, for that would be dishonest. You need to pray that God will give you wisdom. There are at least two things you want to get across to those who are asking you the questions. First, they need to understand that being a Christian does not mean that you are perfect, and that Christians (including adult Christians) can and do sin. When Christians fails to seek Godls will above all else, and instead impose their own wills and egos on others, there will be problems.

The only answer is repentance. Even the New Testament gives glimpses of churches that had dissension in them (e.g. Philippians This does not excuse such things, but at least it shows us the source of them. Second. you want to give your young people a thorough understanding of the importance of the Bible.

It is absolutely central in the life of the Christian and when we fail to follow its principles there will be difficulties. We cannot obey the constant commands of the Bible concerning loving one another, and at the same time engage in backbiting. A very practical suggestion: Start a pray campaign. I know of two college students who agreed that whenever they caught themselves criticizing someone they would spend five minutes praying for that person. Try it and see what happens.
