THE
YOUNG
PEACE
MAKER
conflict starts in
the heart.
What Causes
CONFLICT?
i don’t care
what anybody says.
i wanna go see
star runner!
What
causes
fights and
quarrels
among you?
Don't they
come from
your desires that
battle within
you?
You want
something but
you don't
get it.

2-2
Conflict Starts in the Heart
Choices and conflicts start in the
heart. Many of our conflicts happen
because we make choices to get our
own way.
The Apostle James wrote a letter in
which he said, “What causes fights
and quarrels among you? Don’t
they come from your desires that
battle within you? You want something but you don’t get it” (James
4:1-2).
YOUR mother
DOesN’T WANT YOU
TO GET HURT.
she LOVEs YOU!
she ONLY WANTs
THE BEST
FOR YOU.
NAAAA!
YOUR mom
WORRies TOO MUCH.
she DOesN’T
WANT YOU
TO HAVE
ANY FUN!
The choices we make to get our own
way are deliberate. In other words,
choices are the result of saying or
doing something on purpose. Every
choice is a personal choice. We may
want to blame others for our choices,
but our choices belong to us.
Your
Choices
Belong
to You
You make your own choices
and you are 100 percent
responsible for them.
Two categories of choices
that people make are:
Good . . . . . . . . . . . .Bad
Right . . . . . . . . . . . .Wrong
Obedient . . . . . . . . .Disobedient
Respectful . . . . . . . .Disrespectful
Wise . . . . . . . . . . . . .Foolish
Righteous . . . . . . . .Sinful
2-3
Think about doing
what’s right!
NAA!
think about
doing what
you want!
The Root & the Fruit
Plants get their nourishment through their roots.
If those roots are good, a plant will produce
good fruit. Likewise, bad roots will produce
bad fruit (see Luke 6:43-45).
Like plants, we have a root system in our hearts
that produces different kinds of fruit. This root
system is made up of the desires that are in our
hearts. The fruit that grows from these roots is
all the choices we make to say and do things. If
our hearts are filled with selfish desires, the fruit
will usually be sinful words and actions that
result in conflict and broken relationships. On
the other hand, if our hearts are filled with love
for God and a desire to please him, then the
fruit will be words and action that promote
peace and strengthen relationships.
Some of the desires in our hearts are clearly
wrong, like greed or selfishness, and will produce bad fruit. Other desires may seem to be
good, like wanting to get good grades, but even
a good desire can produce bad fruit if you
desire something too much. The desire can
become a sinful demand. When you demand
your own way, you are putting yourself first and
you are likely to offend others. This is how conflict often begins (see James 4:1-2).
I wanna
do what i wanna
do when i wanna
do it!
I need to look

well as myself.

A-A-AAAHHM-M-M-M
SELFISHNESS
Root:
You want your own way.
Fruit:
You will argue, nag, whine,
lie, or throw a temper tantrum to try
to get people to give in to your desires.
hey!
that’s a cool
sports watch.
GREED
i've got
to have
one
just
like it.
Root:
You want more, and you are
not content with what you have.
Fruit:
You complain that you don't
have what other people have. You take
things that don't belong to you.
2-5
LAZINESS
Root:
You don’t like to work. You
resist responsibility.
Fruit:
You refuse to do your chores or
schoolwork. You sit and watch TV
instead of doing something constructive.
wise up,
you
people,
you know
I’m
always
right.
Whaddya
mean it’s my
fault? You should
have listened to
me!
PRIDE
Root:
You think you are better than
others. You don't like to be wrong.
Fruit:
You become defensive and
argumentative when someone corrects
you.
i should
have them
instead of you!
WHERE’D
YOU GET THOSE
B-b--BEAUTIFUL
in-lINE SKATES?
I DIDN’T SAY
SOMETHING WRONG,
DID I?

AT ME?
What if
nobody

at
school?
ENVY
FEAR
OF
OTHERS
Root:
You want what others have.
You are not content with what you have.
Fruit:
If your sister gets a new shirt,
then you want one, too. You make fun of
your brother because he gets good grades
and yours aren't as good.
Root:
You are afraid of what others
will think of you. You want too much to
be liked and accepted. You must have
other people approve of you and applaud
your efforts.
Fruit:
You won't tell your friends that you
are a Christian because you are afraid that
they will think you are strange and reject you.
You will go along with your friends so they will
accept you, even when you know that what
they are doing is wrong. You need constant
reassurance that you are doing well.
They should
pick me and
not her!
O-O-O JUST
YOU WAIT, LITTLE
MISS POPULARITY!
JEALOUSY
Root:
You are afraid of losing the
love or friendship of someone special if
that person pays attention to someone
else.
Fruit:
You become angry at your
friend for inviting another friend to go
skating. You try to do everything you can
to break up their friendship.
everyone
treats me so
bad!
I
NEVER GET
TO BE THE
QUARTERBACK!
SELF PITY
Root:
You feel sorry for yourself and
you want others to feel sorry for you, too.
Fruit:
You pout and say, "Nobody has
as many chores as I do!" or "You never
let me do anything!" or "Nobody likes
me."
2-6
Good Root, Good Fruit
The good news is that you do not have to be
controlled by sinful desires! You can ask the
Lord to forgive you for following your selfish
desires. More importantly, you can ask him to
replace those sinful desires with the very best
desire of all, a desire to love him with all your
heart and please him in everything you do.
As God changes your heart and gives you a
growing desire to love and please him, you will
be able to say no to your selfish desires and
make the kind of good choices that lead to
peace. This is the kind of fruit that God loves to
produce in our lives through his Holy Spirit (see
Gal. 5:22-23).
If Carlos speaks
angrily to you again,
you should reply in a
gentle voice.
I DON’T LIKE THIS
GAME, BUT I WILL PLAY IT
BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT.
The fruit
THIS IS
YOUR FAVORITE
cd LET’S PLAY
IT!
GENTLENESS:
A gentle heart is compassionate toward
others. It is kind and
loving, not harsh or
violent.
The fruit LOVE: A
loving heart shows an
unselfish concern for
others and desires to do
good to them.
I WILL TREAT
YOU THE WAY I WANT
TO BE TREATED.
I WILL WAIT UNTIL
YOU’RE READY TO GIVE ME
WHAT I ASKED FOR.
IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT YOU ARE
DIFFERENT. I WANT YOU
TO BE MY FRIEND.
The fruit
PATIENCE: A
patient heart will wait
without grumbling or
complaining.
It’s
your
turn. You go
ahead
of mE.
The fruit KINDNESS: A kind
heart is interested in the well-being of
others and will be considerate and
helpful toward them.
At the root and in the heart is
a desire to love
and please
God.
(see Gal. 5:22-23)
2-7
mom, i am
really sorry I blew
up at you. i was
wrong to lose my
temper. Will you
forgive me?
mom, i can wait
and see the movie
later.
of course i
forgive you, dear. i
shouldn’t have
yelled at you
either.
i know you’re disappointed,
Tony, but i appreciate your patience.
i respect you for how you’re
handling this.
i’ll get
the door.
Closing Prayer
Dear Lord, sometimes when I get into conflicts, I blame others for my choices instead
of taking responsibility for what I choose to
do and say. Please forgive me and help me
to accept that my choices are my own.
Show me what I can learn from conflict so
that I can be more like you. Help me to
understand what is at the root of my sinful
choices. Give me a new heart and fill it
with desires that please and honor you. In
Jesus' name,
Amen.
hey, tony!
we all brought

ACTIVITY
Root & Fruit Maze
Read what each person is saying. Can you trace down through the tangle of roots to find and
identify what is in the heart that causes each person to think, speak and act that way?

think of me when they
find out i like to cook?

ACTIVITY
Monster Scramble
Many of your desires are good at times, but when you desire anything too much, it can become a
sinful demand or monster desire and lead you to make choices that cause conflict.
Draw arrows to connect the good desires in the first column with the related monster desires in the
second column. Then draw arrows from the second column to connect with the appropriate consequence in the third column.
The first one is done for you.
