Do you ever have that nagging feeling that your

life, at any moment, might just come flying apart? Have you ever

had that moment of terrifying clarity when you realize, "Everything

I've worked for could really fall apart at any moment"? I wonder if

that's how the Apostles felt in Acts 6. Let's be honest. We all

know how church conflict can go badly. Acts 6:1-7 represents the

first time the church faced a serious internal conflict. How the

church dealt with the situation was pure genius! This Sunday, we

saw how the early church survived her first internal conflict. And,

we learned how we can employ the same concepts for the glory of God

and the good of WCC!
