Overcoming Conflict

In acts 15, we read about disagreement between two famous missionaries that has lived on in history. Barnabas wanted to take Mark with them on a trip to check on some churches they had planted, but Paul did not trust Mark because of an earlier incident. Paul and Barnabas disagreed so sharply that they parted ways.

We still read about this disagreement 2,000 years later. What’s important is not that it lived on in history, but that it didn’t leave permanent relationship scars. Paul reconciled with Barnabas, and in his final days even asked for Mark to be with him.

Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 2 Timothy 4:11
