fourth, David showed us the key to taking a contrary position without causing a fight. He did not attack the people; instead he stood with them in battle. In my work in the school system I found that parents and teachers were often in conflict over the students. Yet all of the adults involved had a similar goal—to help the children. If a problem is addressed with accusation and innuendo, the only results are frustration and defensiveness. Instead of attacking one another, we need to attack the problem.
