Acts 15:36-41

Acts 15:36-41 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. After Paul and Barnabas went back to Antioch they explained what the leaders in Jerusalem had decided. They all rejoice in the liberty that they had in Jesus Christ. After some time, Paul and Barnabas determined to re-visit their new churches in Asia. But as you may recall, John Mark had quit on them and had gone back to Antioch early. Barnabas wanted to give him a second chance, but Paul didn’t. the disagreement was so great that they split up; Paul taking Silas and Barnabas taking John Mark. That was unfortunate. But God had a plan. In spite of a disagreement, by splitting up, two groups went out instead of one! God can even use disagreements.
