Application: When arguments arise where is the first place I go? When do I go to Scripture?

Do I ask God in prayer to reveal his truth by means of his Holy Spirit alive and active in me?

What type of yokes/burdens might I put on myself that are not what Jesus asks me to carry?

III The Decision Dispersed (Acts 15: 22-35)

Application: Am I currently facing a disagreement or dispute?

How am I trusting the Lord to work through this conflict?
