All of us, at one time or another, have had a cherished relationship damaged, and all too often, we haven’t known what to do about it. Truth be told, we Christians are blessed in that we have the Bible to guide us, and it has a lot to say about this matter. In fact, the Bible presents a complete judicial system aimed at correcting wrongs and restoring relationships in any setting. The problem is that we have grown accustomed to looking to the world around us for guidance in such matters, rather than turning to God, who is the only wise and just Judge. He has not only established a system of justice; He has ordained those who will enforce His system. If the Church will one day judge the world, it’s time that we begin to judge ourselves and, in the process, to Be Reconciled!
