In Intergroup Conflict, Recategorization, and Identity Construction in Acts: Breaking the Cycle of Slander, Labeling and Violence (Bloomsbury, 2023) Hyun Ho Park employs social identity to create the first thorough analysis via such methodology of Acts 21:17-23:35, which contains one of the fiercest intergroup conflicts in Acts. Park's assessment allows his readers to rethink, reevaluate, and reimagine Jewish-Christian relations; teaches them how to respond to the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence permeating contemporary public and private spheres; and presents a new hermeneutical cycle and describes how readers may apply it to their own sociopolitical contexts.After surveying previous studies of the text, Park first analyses Paul's welcome, questioning, and arrest, and how slandering and labeling make Paul an outsider. Park then describes how, through defending his Jewish identity and the Way, Paul nuances his public image and re-categorizes himself and the Way as part of the people of God. When Paul identifies himself as a Roman and later a Pharisee, Park examines Luke's ambivalent attitude toward Rome and the Pharisees, and assesses how Paul escapes dangerous situations by claiming different social identities at different times.Finally, he discloses the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence not only against the Way but also against the Jews and challenges the discursive process of identity construction through intergroup conflict with an out-group, especially the proximate “Other.” Furthermore, he demonstrates how the relevance of such scholarship is not limited to Lukan studies or even biblical studies in general; the frequent use of slander, labeling, and violence in the politics of the United States and other polarized countries around the globe demands new ways of looking at intergroup relations, and Park's argument meets the needs of those seeking a new perspective on contemporary political discord. Hyun Ho Park is Associate Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Yuba City, California and Editor-in-Chief of the Asian American Theological Forum. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In Acts 15:32–41, we see Paul and Barnabas—two faithful leaders who loved Jesus and gave everything for the Kingdom—reach a breaking point in their partnership. Their sharp disagreement didn't end with resolution, but it didn't stop God's mission either. In fact, God was still working in the middle of the conflict, preparing new partnerships, expanding the Gospel, and turning endings into new beginnings. If you've ever carried the weight of conflict that didn't resolve the way you hoped, this passage offers encouragement and hope.

In Acts 13:1–4, we see the church in Antioch listening to the Holy Spirit, setting apart Paul and Barnabas, and sending them out to proclaim the gospel—marking the beginning of the first missionary journey. This moment reflects a church that doesn't just gather, but goes, fueled by a vision to see the name of Jesus made known among the nations. In Acts 14:24–28, Paul and Barnabas return and report all that God had done through them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. The sending church became the celebrating church—rejoicing in how God advanced His kingdom through their obedience. This is the heart of the Antioch Initiative: to be a church that listens, sends, and celebrates as God works through us to reach the world.

19 Les disciples s'étaient dispersés lors de la persécution survenue après la mort d'Etienne. Ils allèrent jusqu'en Phénicie, dans l'île de Chypre et à Antioche, mais ils n'annonçaient la Parole qu'aux Juifs.20 Toutefois, quelques-uns d'entre eux, qui étaient originaires de Chypre et de Cyrène, se rendirent à Antioche et s'adressèrent aussi aux non-Juifs en leur annonçant la Bonne Nouvelle qui concerne le Seigneur Jésus.21 Or le Seigneur était avec eux ; un grand nombre de personnes crurent et se convertirent au Seigneur.22 Bientôt l'Eglise de Jérusalem apprit la nouvelle. Elle envoya Barnabas à Antioche.23 A son arrivée, il constata ce que la grâce de Dieu avait accompli et il en fut rempli de joie. Il encouragea donc tous les croyants à rester fidèles au Seigneur avec une ferme assurance.24 Barnabas était en effet un homme bienveillant, rempli d'Esprit Saint et de foi. Et un grand nombre de personnes s'attachèrent au Seigneur.25 Barnabas se rendit alors à Tarse pour y chercher Saul. Quand il l'eut trouvé, il l'amena avec lui à Antioche.26 Ils passèrent toute une année à travailler ensemble dans l'Eglise et enseignèrent beaucoup de gens. C'est à Antioche que, pour la première fois, les disciples de Jésus furent appelés « chrétiens ».

A group of Pharisees called "Judaizers" boldly declared that Gentile believers must submit to the rite of circumcision and come under the law of Moses. This led to a monumental church council in Jerusalem with the apostles and elders present.  Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and James all weigh in at this important meeting.  Their ruling is that the Gentiles do not have to be circumcised, nor did they need to keep the Law of Moses.  They were given four decrees that foster good relations between the believing Jews and Gentiles.

In **2 Samuel 2:1-11**, David takes his first steps as king, but division and rivalry threaten to tear God's people apart. In **Acts 15:36–16:5**, Paul and Barnabas face a sharp disagreement, yet God uses even conflict to expand the mission and strengthen the church. And in **Mark 6:14-29**, we witness the tragic story of John the Baptist's death—a sobering reminder of the cost of truth and faithfulness.

Acts 15:36-40 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.”  37 Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, 38 but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work.  39 They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord.   It's Not Over After CONFLICT   To see God do immeasurably more in and through you; you will have to deal with conflict.     (Barnabas) Can you encourage someone after they have failed and give them another chance?   Trust can be earned.   (Paul) Can you love and forgive someone, but not trust them with certain things?   Trust can be eroded.     What can God do after conflict?   God can redeem conflict (to multiply the mission.)     God can reconcile people (to mend for the mission.)     God can refine people (to mature for the mission.) (Paul) You probably need to become more patient and gracious. (Barnabas) You probably need to become more urgent and truth-oriented.  (John Mark) You need to become more resilient and dependable.      What should we do with conflict? Do not become arrogant or apathetic. Take correction and action.   What to do exactly is not always clear, but the mission must continue.     Romans 5:10-11 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In Acts 15, tension arises in the church over what's truly required for salvation. Some believers insisted that following the law was necessary, while others, like Paul and Barnabas, declared that salvation is found in Jesus alone.

Acts 15:22-35 22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, 23 with the following letter: “The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, 25 it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: 29 that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.” 30 So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. 31 And when they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement. 32 And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words. 33 And after they had spent some time, they were sent off in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them. 35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.   Key Words: Seemed Good, Elders, Troubled, Unsettling, Instructions, Encouragement Keystone Verse: It has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us.

Lead Pastor, Scott Harris, uses the rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to illustrate how disagreements, even among great leaders, can lead to significant impact. In Acts 15, Paul and Barnabas clash over John Mark, resulting in their separation, yet God uses this division to expand the gospel through two missionary teams instead of one. The passage teaches that conflicts among believers can be opportunities for growth, grace, and renewed ministry. #ConflictAndGrace #Acts15 #GospelExpansion #FaithInAction #LessonsFromDisagreement

This passage offers a compelling vision of gospel-centered community through the church in Antioch. This diverse, Spirit-led gathering grew out of persecution and became a hub for mission and generosity. As believers preached the gospel to both Jews and Greeks, the hand of the Lord was with them, and many turned to Christ. Barnabas and Saul discipled this growing community, strengthening their faith and deepening their unity. It was here that the disciples were first called Christians—evidence of a new identity shaped by the gospel. The Antioch church responded to need with sacrificial generosity, showing that true kingdom community is rooted in worship, formed by discipleship, and expressed through mission. This is the kind of church we long to become through The Antioch Initiative—a sending church, a growing church, and a gospel-shaped community for generations to come.

Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord?” — Acts 5:9 “Kill the chicken to scare the monkey,” says a Chinese proverb. In other words, put the fear of punishment into people, and they will not break the rules. Is that what Peter does in this unnerving story about Ananias and Sapphira? In the early chapters of Acts, the writer Luke includes progress reports on the growth and character of the early church. At the end of Acts 4 we read that the believers were “one in heart and mind” and “shared everything they had.” We also read of a generous donation by Barnabas, who sold some land and gave all the money to the church. The story of Ananias and Sapphira, however, reveals a web of deceit. The couple sold some land and kept some money for themselves while pretending to give all the proceeds to the church. Peter harshly condemned them—not for keeping some of the profit but for lying and thinking they could deceive the Holy Spirit. What should we make of this story? Is Peter making an example of this deceitful couple? Well, this story isn't mainly about Peter. The Holy Spirit, who lives and moves within us and the church, is carrying out Jesus' plans for redemption. Ananias and Sapphira's story reminds us that we should rely only on the Spirit for growth and blessing—and we should never forget that the Spirit is the Lord Almighty. Lord Jesus, thank you for the promise and presence of the Holy Spirit, our comforter. Help us to trust and honor the Spirit in all things. Amen.

It's Friday, August 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Amnesty International says 11 Christians railroaded in Libya Amnesty International has urged Libya to overturn the convictions of 11 Christians after they had received “grossly unfair” trials, reports International Christian Concern. The human rights organization said the trials of the nine Libyan men, a Libyan woman, and a Pakistani man were “marred by egregious violations of due process and international human rights standards.” Like Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15:26, these people “have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” According to Open Doors, Libya is the fourth worst country worldwide for the persecution of believers. Russia bombs U.S. factory in Ukraine -- one of war's largest attacks Russia struck an American electronics manufacturer in Ukraine with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war so far, reports The Telegraph. The Ukrainian air force said some 574 drones and 40 missiles were fired overnight, primarily targeting western regions of the country – far from the battlefield's front line in the east and south of the country. Supreme Court empowers Trump to cut $783 million in DEI funding On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump the green-light to axe DEI and gender ideology grants at the National Institutes of Health, reports NBC News. In a narrow 5-4 decision, the court ruled that President Trump can cut $783 million in federal funding for “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” as well gender ideology research. Florida news director Eric Daughtery tweeted, “Chief Justice JOHN ROBERTS joined the liberals and DEI Justice Ketanji [Brown] Jackson in trying [unsuccessfully] to block President Trump from ending woke grants at the NIH.” Miller: White Communist protestors don't speak for crime-targeted black DC residents On Wednesday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller joined Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Union Station in Washington, D.C.  Miller railed against what he called “stupid white hippies” who were protesting the federal crackdown on crime in the nation's capital, saying that they did not represent the crime-weary black DC residents, reports The Hill.com. MILLER: “There are residents who have lived in Washington, DC their entire lives. Their parents lived here, their grandparents lived here, and they have lived for generations in intolerable conditions of crime and decay. “I moved to the city 20 years ago. There are places where I've seen graffiti that has been untouched for two decades. There are homeless encampments that have made it impossible for families to use public parks and public recreation for as long as I've lived here. There are hundreds of residents of this city who are shot in street violence every single year, making it one of the most violent cities on planet Earth. And, for too long, 99% of this city has been terrorized by 1% of the city.” Miller took issue with the liberal protestors. MILLER: “The voices that you hear out there, those crazy communists, they have no roots. They have no connections to the city. They have no families they are raising the city. They have no one that they are sending to school in this city. They have no jobs in this city. They have no connections to this community at all. They're the ones who've been advocating for the 1% -- the criminals, the killers, the rapists, the drug dealers. “And I'm glad they're here today because me, [Defense Secretary] Pete [Hegseth] and the Vice President [J.D. Vance], are all going to leave here and, inspired by them, we're going to add thousands more resources to this city, to get the criminals and the gang members out of here. We're going to dismantle those networks. “And we're going to prove that a city can serve for the law-abiding citizens who live there. We are not going to let the communists destroy a great American city, let alone the nation's capital.” CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings summarized the progress of Trump's federal intervention to lower crime in the District of Columbia. JENNINGS: “Our nation's capital, the District of Columbia is a federal zone. And I don't think it's theater. I think it's working. They've arrested hundreds of people. They've gotten a number of violent criminals off the street. Just last night, they arrested an illegal alien and a member of MS 13. “They've gotten a lot of illegal guns off the street. Half of all the non-immigration arrests have come in D C's two most violent wards. There was some concern that they wouldn't be looking into the places where the crime is. That's not true.” Dr. James Dobson, evangelical Christian leader, died at 89 And finally, Dr. James Dobson, the influential conservative Christian therapist, author, and radio personality who founded Focus on the Family, died yesterday at the age of 89 following a brief illness, announced The Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. He is survived by Shirley, his wife of 64 years, two children – Danae and Ryan, daughter-in-law Laura, and two grandchildren – Luci and Lincoln. Shirley shared her heart on the radio program “Family Talk.” SHIRLEY DOBSON: “This is Shirley Dobson. My precious husband, Jim, is now with Jesus. Even though I know he is rejoicing, my heart is aching. Jim will always be the love of my life. I want to thank you and millions around the world for opening your hearts to Jim. Over the decades, he worked hard to promote righteousness and help you build a strong family filled with love, commitment, and trust.” In a special memorial broadcast heard on 1,500 radio stations, Gary Bauer, senior vice president of Public Policy at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute, vocalized what he believed has happened in Heaven. BAUER: “He has looked into the face of our Lord and Savior, and he has heard the words that every one of us want to hear, dearly. ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.'” Bauer shared how Dr. Dobson and he first met. BAUER: “I crossed paths with Dr. Dobson at an unlikely time. I was serving in the Reagan administration. So, I'm in Washington, DC, and, as everybody knows, this is a city filled with controversy. And I got into a couple of really big fights in Washington over things related to faith, family and freedom -- the things that define Jim's life. “It felt a little lonely at the time when I was going through that. And I got a phone call, and it was Dr. Dobson. He said, ‘I've been watching how you've been fighting back against these folks that want to rip faith out of our country and want to redefine the family and want to indoctrinate our children. I'd love to have you on the radio show.' I ended up going on the show, and that ended up being the first of literally hundreds of interviews.” Born in 1936 in Shreveport, Louisiana to a Nazarene evangelist and his wife, James Clayton Dobson Jr., an only child, earned a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in 1967, specializing in child development, reports The Christian Post. According to his official biography, Dobson previously served as a pediatrics professor at the University of Southern California School of Medicine and a staff member at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles in the Division of Child Development and Medical Genetics. His first book, Dare To Discipline, which endorsed spanking, sold over three million copies. Other notable works, among his 70 books, included Hide or Seek, What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women, Love Must Be Tough, Parenting Isn't For Cowards, Children At Risk, When God Doesn't Make Sense, and Life On The Edge. In 1977, Dobson founded Focus on the Family with a weekly broadcast that eventually became a weekday broadcast heard on 7,000 stations worldwide. It was heard daily by more than 220 million people in 164 countries. Then, in 1978, he also recorded the seven-part Focus on the Family film series at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Remarkably, by the mid-1980s, 80 million Americans had seen the film series which was one-third of the U.S. population at the time. Dobson would lead Focus on the Family until 2010, when he launched the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute and continued to oversee a nationally syndicated radio program called “Family Talk.” Christian bestselling author and radio personality Eric Metaxas called Dobson “a hero.” Metaxas tweeted, “He was not afraid to bring his faith into the public sphere for God's purposes. He has finished the race — to God's glory!” In fact, Gary Bauer recalled Dr. Dobson's unwavering stand for the sanctity of life. BAUER: “I was with him many times at events when a complete stranger, a woman, would come up to him and say, ‘Dr. Dobson, because of you, my 9-year-old here, my 4-year-old, my 12-year-old would not be alive. I was on my way to an abortion clinic, and I was turning the radio dial looking for some music to get my mind off of it, and I heard your voice, and I stopped. I pulled off the road and went back home. And now, Mary, here, is alive.'” A frequent presence in Washington, D.C., Dr. Dobson played key roles in presidential commissions, with appointments by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. On a personal note, it was my great honor to work for Dr. Dobson for two and a half years during which time I wrote questions for him to ask several of his guests, including Mark Levin about his book American Marxism and Jonathan Cahn about his book The Return of the Gods. Plus, I summarized the broadcasts in five sentences for the 7 million Facebook followers and 1,300 radio announcers to encourage listeners to stay tuned. Gary Bauer explained that Dr. Dobson used the platform that the Lord had given him to take a stand for America's Judeo-Christian heritage. BAUER: “Dr. Dobson, basically, in his own way, started the pro-family movement. He made it a force in America. … He loved God, of course, first, and he loved his family, but he loved America. He was deeply concerned that if America was ripped out of the rich soil of Judeo-Christian civilization, that the country would be lost. It defined everything that he did. “Imagine what the country would be like if Dr. Dobson had not, during that 40 years, been speaking for what I still believe is the great majority of the country.” Dr. James Dobson himself reflected on his own legacy in the waning days of his life. DOBSON: “When I reach the end of my days, a moment or two from now, I must look backward on something more meaningful than the pursuit of houses and land and machines and stocks and bonds. Nor is fame of any lasting benefit. I will consider my earthly existence to have been wasted unless I can recall a loving family, a consistent investment in the lives of people, and an earnest attempt to serve the God who made me.” Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Visit a special memorial link to see how Dr. Dobson's life and legacy are being celebrated through our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

What holds revival together? According to guest speaker and long-time friend of The Roads Church, Lee Grady, it's not just miracles, healings, or signs and wonders—it's love and relationships. In this powerful message, Bonds of Steel, Lee shows us from the life of the Apostle Paul how the Holy Spirit builds unshakable relationships that strengthen the church and advance the Kingdom. From Paul's mentoring of Timothy, to his partnership with Barnabas, to his divine connection with Luke, we see how God uses relationships to change history. Lee challenges us to pursue the three types of relationships every Christian needs: A Paul (mentor) A Barnabas (friend) A Timothy (disciple) He also shares practical steps for overcoming hurt, letting go of fear, and investing in others so that our lives reflect the love of Jesus. If you've ever struggled with loneliness, church hurt, or feeling disconnected, this message will remind you that Christianity is not “just me and Jesus”—it's about walking in fellowship, unity, and love.

Acts 15:1-21 But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question. 3 So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers. 4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them. 5 But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.” 6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. 7 And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 9 and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.10 Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.” 12 And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13 After they finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. 14 Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 “‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins,      and I will restore it, 17 that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord,     and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,      says the Lord, who makes these things 18 known from of old.' 19 Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, 20 but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. 21 For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”     Key Words: Circumcise, Save, Debate, Believe, Faith, Holy Spirit, Conversion, Grace Keystone Verse: But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.

Presented by Julie Busteed I recently read a 2021 Harvard Business Review article about high performing teams. The article reported “disagreements with people whose opinions or ideas differ from our own are common in the workplace. When handled appropriately, disagreements lead to better results—but they are not usually viewed that way.”[1] So true! Different ideas or ways of doing things can lead to better results, but so often the response is defensive or territorial, not willing to listen or change. But if handled in the right way, disagreements can lead to a great outcome. An example is the disagreement between the Apostle Paul and Barnabas and their disagreement on who should accompany them on their second missionary journey. John Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their first journey as a helper (Act 13:5). It was quite the journey of incredible growth for the church but also much persecution. Sometime later, Paul suggested to Barnabas to visit the churches they had planted. Barnabas wanted to bring John Mark with them again on this journey, but Paul disagreed because John Mark had not continued with them in the work on their first journey (Acts 15:38). In fact, it's written that they had a sharp disagreement, and it was so intense they could not come to an agreement at that time, which resulted in Paul taking Silas with him and Barnabas brought John Mark on a separate missionary journey. But this is not the end of the story. Paul, when he was in Rome, wrote to the Colossians and in Philemon—mentions John Mark sends his greetings along with others. John Mark is with Paul in Rome. And in Second Timothy Paul writes: Get (John) Mark and bring him with you for he is very useful to me for ministry (2 Timothy 4:11). Don't you love that? It's estimated 15 plus years have passed since that first journey when John Mark left them. And now, with time, space, maturity, and perspective, there's evidence of reconciliation and working together for the purpose of proclaiming the gospel. Paul and Barnabas had a different view of how to conduct the second journey. And so that second journey did not continue on as originally planned, but in the end, two teams went out to encourage the churches and preach Christ to the unreached. A disagreement ended with two different ways of moving forward. Unity was evident—both wanted to encourage and spread the good news. The methods were different, but the mission—the goal—was the same. --- [1] Harvard Business Review High-Performing Teams Start with a Culture of Shared Values by Greg Satell and Cathy Winschitl, May 11. 2021, https://hbr.org/2021/05/high-performing-teams-start-with-a-culture-of-shared-values

Morning and Evening with Charles Spurgeon

“Everlasting consolation.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:16 “Consolation.” There is music in the word: like David's harp, it charms away the evil spirit of melancholy. It was a distinguished I honour to Barnabas to be called “the son of consolation”; nay, it is one of the illustrious names of a greater than Barnabas, for the Lord […]
