Acts 15:4-5; James 2:1-9

Being on the outside is rarely a pleasant feeling, as it conjures feelings of rejection... feelings of not belonging--which is such an intrinsic and fundamental human need. Today, we see Titus feeling quite out of place when the church in Jerusalem gathers together. But this is only the tip of the iceberg when a much deeper issue surfaces and requires a clear decision that would determine the future of the church.
