This week, as we continue our series on discipleship, Paul wants to revisit the word speak in the love,

no, speak, do ministry model.

Here's this week's Wednesday's Word.

It's a recurring article title on many of the popular blogs and cultural websites.

How to handle conflict when you hate confrontation, or how to have a difficult conversation

if you hate confrontation. These posts might be helpful if you're only seeking advice on

frankly, verse 17, out of love, but we must notice all of the ways in which we carry hatred
