7/23/05 Bible study - Conflicts and Free Choice

Joyce and Stephen lead us to complete the study of 1 Cor. Chapter 6, talking about resolving conflicts and exercising our free choice. Key discussion points:

• difficult to resolve conflicts, especially among close families
• Ken's 500 mile rule
• Everything is lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is lawful for me, but I will not let myself be dominated by anything.

Joyce is pregnant! Congratulations to Joyce and Stephen! Denise's preganancy also seems to be coming along pretty well. Let's us keep Joyce and Denise and their babies in our prayers.
