       A rather crude and cruel experiment was carried out by Emperor Frederick, who ruled the Roman Empire in the thirteenth century.

       He wanted to know what man’s original language was: Hebrew, Greek, or Latin? He decided to isolate a few infants from the sound of the human voice.

       He reasoned that they would eventually speak the natural tongue of man.

       Wet nurses who were sworn to absolute silence were obtained, and though it was difficult for them, they abided by the rule.

       The infants never heard a word -- not a sound from a human voice. Within several months they were all dead.

       We need relationships...we do not need conflicts that destroy relationships...in any language.

       Therefore what must we all do and always...is...follow some basic rules that common sense and the Bible have laid out for us...for after all we are brothers and sisters in Christ...and if we act like it...half the battle is won.

       To begin with...

If we hear a tainted tale about someone don't spread it...rather...

        THINK...spelled

T...is it true?

H...is it helpful?

I...is it inspiring?

N...is it necessary that we spread the story?

K...is it kind?

       Their names were James and Paul and they could hardly have been any more different in their thinking.

       They both loved the Lord...after that it was all downhill.

       Then they did what all followers of Christ ought to always automatically do...as brothers in Christ they agreed to magnify what they had in common rather than what they disagreed on. 

       They could have enlarged their anger and destroyed their common sense. ...but they didn't.
       In Jerusalem there was much more pressure to conform to the laws of Moses than in Antioch.

       In a Gentile city, people came to Christ from a different perspective and tradition.
       So what did these men of God do?

        They let each congregation work out its own practices according to the principles of Christ’s grace, love and truth as each saw it.

       And so they prospered and their churches prospered...as consensus won out over conflict.
 

       Again...what did they do?... they agreed to magnify what they had in common rather than what they disagreed on.
