Wednesday

I am still thinking about continuity/discontinuity across the testaments. It is a very stimulating exercise. The Puritans were masters at using the whole counsel of God.

The next section in Acts 16 is confounding on the surface. Paul, after fighting a monumental battle over circumcision, will circumcise Timothy for the sake of the Jews. Paul was a conciliatory fellow. This doesn't mean he compromised. The physical act of circumcision wasn't the issue...

We need to implore men, women and children to believe in Christ. We also need to be ready to invest our lives in them over the long-haul.

I look forward to seeing my friends at prayer meeting tonight.
