Disputes between people who have the Gospel
Disputes between people who have the Gospel
Acts 15: 36~41 They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. (39~40)

Why are there so many disputes within the world and Korean churches, and why is there division? From the Scripture, it may appear that Paul and Barnabas had a severe dispute, but the reality is a different matter. The disagreement between Paul and Barnabas was not a clash of emotions.
1. The disagreement between Paul and Barnabas
Paul and Barnabas’ dispute stemmed from the quandary, “How can we relay the Gospel?” There were differences in their thoughts and natures, but it posed no overt threat to their ministry. In order for us to properly relay the Gospel, we must have conflicts and properly reflect before God, and works will arise within our prayers.
2. Those who have and love the Gospel will receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit
Those who possess the Gospel will absolutely be guided by the Holy Spirit. They will be able to reflect upon themselves in the midst of prayer, receive great grace, and be guided by God. After separating with Barnabas, Paul called Mark to Rome, where they pursued important ministry in Rome together, and were even imprisoned alongside each other while evangelizing. If we are deeply concerned over the progression of the Gospel in order to properly pursue the evangelism movement, we will undoubtedly have success.
3. The great work of God will absolutely arise if we truly discover ourselves and understand others within the work of witnessing
If we can truly discover ourselves within the Gospel and wait for others even as we understand them, the work of God will absolutely arise. If the conflicts continue, we must simply find the reason for conflict and change our ulterior motives. Who was Mark? He was a blessed man in whose house the evangelism movement of the Early Church began. It was also in Mark’s house where the members of the Early Church experienced the filling of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and also saw works arise in the midst of prayer when all the apostles were captured and faced execution. Mark recorded the Gospel of Mark, and enjoyed the blessing of pursuing evangelism as his specialty alongside Paul, Peter and Timothy. Till the very end, he witnessed, raised a church, and achieved ultimate victory through martyrdom.
° Forum Topic - We must resolve, “I will succeed through the Gospel! I will succeed through the power of God! I will rise as a witness who possesses the evidence of God!’ We must ask ourselves, “What am I conflicted about?” and take courage because we have the Gospel. Meditate deeply on the progression of the Gospel as you share forum with your co-workers.
