Even as you hit the fast lane of life with furious strides that brook no brakes, won’t you pause a moment to grab a grain of scriptural truth embedded herein ? (click on hypertext in the Day’s Reading for reference verse)
No obligations! You are ofcourse perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!
God bless

Should I weep in the fifth month?
It is a matter of shame that we tie ourselves hand and foot to so many rules and regulations relating to religious observances. God makes it abundantly clear elsewhere that He cares two hoots for our pious ceremonies. If we really want to please Him, the formula is clear: “Give up your evil ways. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows”
Instead are we turning back again to the “weak and beggarly elements of observing days, months, times, and years?”
There is glorious liberty in Christ!
