Meditation
Day 300! Woo hoo!
Placeholder for the October 27 meditation … to be updated as soon as possible.
I could be wrong, but I don’t know that much more is said, about the disagreement between Paul and Barnabas, except that it happened and was a significant conflict between them. But, if my memory of scripture is correct (it may not be), I think both went on their separate ways, to have fruitful ministries. Is this an example of the realm in which God allows us choices, that are neither explicitly sinful or righteous? Perhaps they could have been more civil, or kind, in how they disagreed, or perhaps they were civil and kind, but distraught at a parting of the ways. There are times when believers disagree, yet God continues to use different ministries to reach different people.
