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 of course perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!

Peter’s laboured political correctness!
I don’t think Peter and Paul were friends; fellow apostles – yes, co-workers-yes, but pals- no. Paul criticizes Peter openly for hypocritical behaviour. And Peter takes it out on Paul with dissembling euphemism – “beloved brother Paul” and “according to the wisdom that God gave him“. I imagine he actually wanted to use words like “that fellow Paul also has written some inscrutable stuff over and over again, according to his limited knowledge”
What is our relationship with fellow Christians? Bare tolerance or true brotherly love?
“Let love be genuine”
