We are in Acts 15 

Let’s note, firstly, that  the Gospel is for all people

Secondly, let’s look at the sharp disagreement in verse 39.

Such times are  destructive when they consume our time and energy away from witnessing for our Lord,  but…

… when we recognize that our perceptions of situations are not necessarily shared by others, we can began to more effectively address disagreements.   

So  the real big picture is that God has wonderful trumped our prejudices and perceptions by radically loving us in and through His Son; and when we come to experience His love , nothing can hold us back in sharing the Good news…regardless of the person we meet or the difficulty we are in
