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!
God bless!

Et tu Paul?
Look at him. You are right, that’s Paul. Your apostle to the gentiles. The guy who thundered “Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing” to the church in Corinth. Oh, he is back from his third missionary journey, I see. But what is he doing in the temple with these four guys who have taken a vow? Purification rites? That’s not like Paul.
Well, you can’t say he wasn’t warned by the Spirit not to go to Jerusalem at this time. But he went anyway – and paid the price, of compromise.
Pay heed to the Holy Spirit!
