The Quiet Game
"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Many of us grew up hearing this phrase, usually with the purpose of teaching us not to insult others or gossip behind their backs. However, sometimes choosing not to say anything, not to use our words and communicate, can actually be more hurtful than sharing what's on our hearts. My silence can end up causing anxiety and frustration in my relationships. So how do I recognize the kind of impact my refusal to engage is having on the people I'm connected to? And how do I break the habit of playing the quiet game in my relationships?
Scripture References: Matthew 18:15, Luke 6:31, Proverbs 25:11, Ephesians 4:25
From Series: "Games We Play"
It’s common for people to “play games” in certain relationships. We make choices and say things in order to win the argument or get things to go our way, and at the same time we end up undermining trust and respect with that other person. At Flagstone for the month of February, we are going to take an honest look at the games people play in relationships and discover how we can truly “win” by making our different connections the healthiest they can be.

Red Flags - Relationship Warning Signs
"Red flags" serve as warning signs. A burger restaurant that serves "bargain sushi"? That's a red flag. A used car dealer that says, "This vehicle has only been in two previous accidents"? That's a red flag. But what about red flags in relationships? Whether it's in a friendship, a dating relationship, or a marriage, we need to pay attention to red flags that may be warning us that there is something unhealthy in our connection with that other person. What are some of the more common relationship red flags? And what are spiritually and emotionally healthy ways of dealing with those warning signs?
