The Apostles resolve the first internal struggle of many in the Early Church. Through prayer, a healthy understanding of scripture, and surrounding themselves with people of character, the crisis was resolved as quickly as it arrived.

Universally, we can be thankful the Holy Spirit is always one step ahead of our immaturity.
