On a visible and practical level, authority comes from believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Denominational churches come from conferences and general conferences, while local churches are empowered by the general assembly. Paradoxically, pastors and congregations view authority differently. If the pastor only values the spiritual aspect, he will consider himself to be in control of the church; if the congregation only values the practical aspect, they will consider themselves superior to the pastor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Therefore, pastors are not only responsible to God, but also to the congregation; the congregation must not only obey God, but also be willing to cooperate with the pastor who leads them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the use of authority, pastors should know that their authority comes from God\u2019s call. If the pastor does not teach and preach God\u2019s words effectively, he will lose the authority given by God. He cannot rely on personal ability or strategy to establish authority, nor should he focus on how much authority he has obtained. He should focus on his own service responsibilities. If shepherding is good, authority will follow; if shepherding is poor, authority will be lost one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As for believer leaders, they are elected by believers and exercise authority through the board of governors, councils, or co-workers, but do not possess authority themselves. Cooperate with pastors in accordance with church laws and regulations. To guard against abuse of authority, there are tenure and rotation systems, methods for evaluating preachers and elders, and the establishment of personnel committees or disciplinary panels, all with the goal of building a unified team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why didn\u2019t the pastor put forward his opinion immediately so that both parties would not have to spend time discussing it if they disagreed? The answer is simple: I want to know more about both sides\u2019 views. On the other hand, I have time to pray and ask God to give me wisdom and judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Some churches have asked me to help them revise their bylaws to avoid recurrence of conflicts. I would first talk to the elders to understand the crux of the problem, and I would also talk to the pastor individually to know his perspective. Then a compromise plan is proposed, and both parties discuss it together. The result often ends with everyone being happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many times, however, the root cause of conflict lies in spiritual life. Unwilling to deny oneself and be self-centered. If we recognize that loving one another is the greatest commandment, submitting to one another as the greatest prerequisite, and holding the principle of peace in our spirit, we can \u201cstrive to maintain the unity of the Spirit.\u201d (Refer to Ephesians 4:3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective communication includes listening skills, speaking skills, appropriate responses, and united prayer. When I was the senior pastor in the past, the senior executive meeting started with worship and praise, followed by group prayers for each other, a period of reading and sharing, and then discussion of the issues. Although it takes thirty minutes at the beginning, it saves a lot of time later and can often be effectively concluded within two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the overall purpose of the church is identified, opposing parties can notice that their opponents share their commitment to the church and its sound development. These people who have different opinions can come together and work together because of the general principles they agree on. Both parties are doing things for God, not for themselves. We must have faith in God and people, so that we can see through the unpleasant current situation and see a bright future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above five steps can be used flexibly depending on the church background, the nature and situation of the conflict. It is not just a step-by-step implementation when conflicts arise, but continuous application of these concepts and techniques in the church will surely reduce conflicts and increase harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
