"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. "Settle mattersSTOP, DROP, AND GIVE1) STOP AND ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE YOU HAVE HURT."Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar.* We judge others by their actions.* We judge ourselves by our intentions.Who have I hurt?Key Question: How have I hurt you?2) DROP EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT.…leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.Settle matters quickly with your adversary……if you have been trapped by what you said…then do this…to free yourself…Go and humble yourself…plea with your neighbor! Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids. Free yourself…* Do it face to face.When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.I’m sorry I have hurt you.Will you forgive me?* Do your part and trust God to do the rest.If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.3) GIVE YOUR HEART AND GIFTS TO GOD.First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.…in view of God's mercy, offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your spiritual act of worship.
