Here is the second half of last week’s article [only in the Russian blog - go to last week's blog for the link]. If you are having a conflict with someone, especially if it is on-going, I would appeal to you to do everything you are able to do in order to resolve that conflict as soon as you can. Broken relationships are caused by sin. If you are in a broken relationship and are not taking steps to mend that relationship, then you cannot expect God to bless your ministry. God will not bless sin.
(There are times when you are doing everything you can, including the things listed below, to mend the relationship but the other person is not willing to respond. As long as you have genuinely confessed to God and turned from your part in the conflict and if you are taking the initiative to restore that relationship, then you know that you have done all that you can do (“If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.” - Romans 12:18). God will not hold against you the refusal of the other person to respond.)
