Confrontation is never easy, but sometimes it is necessary. Fixing the problem before it becomes chaos is not only efficient, but loving. Think about it, if you are afraid to confront someone, who are you loving more, the person, or you?
Remember the saying "good cop, bad cop"? Everyone likes to be the good cop, the one everyone likes, lets people off with just a warning, and visits the donut shop. But, the bad cop, writes the large ticket, drags the perpetrator to court, and makes the offender's life miserable. But, you need both to get a job done right. Sometimes you need to be a bad cop. It gets the job done.
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
