Benjamin Lynes was pastor of Wake Forest Baptist Church. Rev. Lynes preached an overview of Acts 21:17-33, most importantly analyzing the apostles Paul and James. According to Dr. Lynes, James and Paul were in a serious disagreement that neither were going to compromise the doctrine of salvation that the other was proclaiming. This early church issue prodded Pastor Lynes to ask the students why Christians are fighting each other when the world is in need. Lynes encourages students to not look to church politicians for deep theological issues but to look to the Bible and Jesus.
