Can I do it? I guess we’ll see. 🙂

That’s a great observation about Paul and Mark. I think that Paul was so driven at the outset of his missionary work that he couldn’t stand slackers. So when John Mark left the team, Paul found him useless as a team member.

However, as both Paul and Mark grew up, they learned perseverance – Mark from a more temperate Barnabas and Paul from his prison cells.

God used the incident (Acts 15:36-41) to double the efforts, though that was not Paul’s plan.

I think you could do just that!! Also, do you think that it was hard for Paul to work with or get along with Mark? Is that another reason he has encouraged us to be tolerant of our sister’s and brother’s differences…he learned from that event? Did he deliberately refuse to have Mark travel with him so that two teams of evangelists were sent out instead of one or did he just not want to tolerate Mark’s difference and then later saw how God worked it out in each of their lives? Well, we can get the whole story later….
