Christian Living: Acts 15 Day 2

v. 12: "All the people kept silent."  What a beautiful image, especially as a summer school teacher!  The silence of the first 5 minutes of class is fantastic!  The key is keeping the next 115 minutes engaging enough to keep the kids on track!
As a personal application, I sometimes need to listen more before replying to others' feedback.  I need to learn to be quiet and listen more.

vv. 13-21: James sums up his understanding of the discussion and makes a proposal.  The others agree with his wisdom.  It is my goal to become this kind of leader, one who listens to everyone and then creates a well-respected solution.
