Church Problems How to establish and apply authority. Acts 15:6-19 Apostolic approved example. 15:7-11 Necessary inference. 15:12 Direct statement. 15:13-19 Respect for God’s silence. 15:24 Our pattern to follow. Col. 3:17 Unity thrives when brethren accept and stand in the truth of God. Acts 15:25; Eph. 4:1-6 (Amos 3:3)

Blessings Of Family Life Heirs Rom 8:14-17 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: and if children, then heirs ; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with (him), that we may be also glorified with (him).”

If you are not in the family of God, you cannot enjoy the blessings of family life! Gal. 3:26-29 “For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one (man) in Christ Jesus. And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.”
