"And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;” - Acts 15:39

If the Lord was to line all of the believers up in a straight line both Paul and Barnabas would be so far ahead of me that I would never see them. But with that said, I can’t fathom these men of God having such a sharp contentious disagreement. Disagreements come because two or more people see things differently and both demand to have their way. I do believe that Satan and the world smile with delight at... #D4Ldevotion #D4L #Christian

Whoa!!!! What a powerful reminder. i must confess, this is a real stumbling block for me, and yes, it's right in sync with "humility" and THAT is the most painfully difficult to embrace, of most ALL things that our faithful Lord is teaching us.

It seems to go hand in hand with "grace" and always having a "gracious" answer for all we communicate with, especially if there is disagreement.

Thank you for this most timely reminder, study, and lesson, on this very cold and partly cloudy Son+day afternoon, brother. God bless you.
