1 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.”
2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made all the believers very glad.
4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them.
5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question.

Questions for Meditation:
First, what are two sides of conflict? Have you experienced Satan's temptation and/or God's test in conflicts?

Second, to overcome conflicts you must have faith which surpasses your feelings and thoughts. How can we keep our faith and not rely on our feelings and thoughts in the midst of conflicts?

Third, how can we not think of the people with whom we have conflicts as enemies? How can we fight the good fight in the midst of conflicts?
