I recommend Steve Cornell's article to you: "How to Practice Unity On Debatable Matters." It's concise, helpful. This would be good to review with your wife and children.
Here's the summary:
Decision Making When Christians Differ
Using Romans 14 & 15 as a guide, Dr. Friessen suggested five points:
- Learn to distinguish between matters of command and matters of freedom (14:14,20).
- On debatable issues, cultivate your own convictions (14:5).
- Allow your brother the freedom to determine his own convictions – even when they differ from yours (14:1-12).
- Let your liberty be limited, when necessary, by love (14:13-15:2).
- Follow Christ as the model and motivation of servanthood (15:3-13).
