7 Skills for Healthy Storming
Don't be selfish; don‘t live to make a good impression on others. Be
humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only
about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they
are doing.
Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God, he did not demand or cling to his rights as God. He
made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and
appeared in human form. And in human form, he obediently humbled
himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross.
Philippians 2:3-8(NLT)

Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those
who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing
come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters,
this is not right!

I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I
have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that
perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers
and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing:
Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to
reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God,
through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions
in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.

7 Skills for Healthy Storming
If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the fault. If the
other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. But if
you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so
that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. If the
person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. If the church
decides you are right, but the other person won’t accept it, treat that person
as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector. I tell you the this: Whatever you forbid
on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will
be permitted in heaven. I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth
concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where
two or three gather together because they are mine, I am there among them.
Matthew 18:15-20 (NLT)
