Some group decisions are difficult. Where would you like to go for dinner? One couple found this so difficult that the driver finally located and drove to, “I Don’t Care Family Restaurant”. You may have an elaborate process for negotiating this in your family. Other things are even more complex and controversial. Do you simply follow the majority vote? Does the person with the most power decide (like the driver at dinner time)? Someone or some group’s preferences will prevail if you decide in one of these ways. For Christian groups there is a better way to make decisions. The first generation of Jesus followers faced a complicated decision. They chose to address it through discernment . . . with love.
