Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Matthew 18:15 KJV
If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend. If he won’t listen, take one or two others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again. If he still won’t listen, tell the church. If he won’t listen to the church, you’ll have to start over from scratch, confront him with the need for repentance, and offer again God’s forgiving love.
Matthew 18:15 MSG

Good words, Reverend, as they all are.
And Happy Mother's day to your wife. 🙂
Thank you, Linda. I hope you're at least getting glimpses of some light at the end of your tunnel.
He is showing us the way, little by little. :)
Yes, that's the way He does it: one step at a time, so we don't get ahead of Him.
Good words, and too few these days seem to pay attention.
Sadly, we too often cut straight to the arguing.
NFO, you've said a mouthful. And spot on, too.
TB, that's true.
