Proverbs 18:15.
a) The mind of a person with discernment gets Knowledge.
b) The heart of a person with good sense gets Knowledge.
c) The ear of the wise person is seeking and searching for Knowledge.

‘Mature Handling Of Questions Of Doctrine.’
Acts 15:1-6.
a) Acts 15:1. These Jewish Bible Teachers were incorrect. They were saying to the Galatian Church that if one wanted Salvation in Jesus Christ they had to be circumcised.

1- Discord.
2- Dispute.
3- Argument.
c) Acts 15:2. The decision was made by the Church to send Paul, Barnabas and a team to Jerusalem to find out from the Church Leaders the correct decision about this matter.

e) Acts 15:4. They came to Jerusalem and met the Church Leaders, giving them an account and testimony of all the things that the Lord had been doing through them.
f) Acts 15:5. Again, in Jerusalem, the circumcision question came up.

The heart of a person with good sense gets Knowledge. Study is a stressful and serious thing for most students to face, it is challenging and meant to be so. The student should be encouraged to live a sensible life, not wasting time and money on weird or sinful activities that are actually going to harm their progress in study. Christian parents should be praying their children through University and Churches should be praying for the University students who are members or attendees of the Church.
