DEUTERONOMY 15-16:
Yesterday's reading included Moses' warning
about being led astray by anyone, including false prophets or even
close family members. No one who proposed idolatry was to be
allowed to live. Then we heard a repetition of the laws about which
animals were to be treated as clean/edible and those
unclean/detestable.
Psalm 57:
This
Psalm is beautiful and often quoted. It again is from David's
experiences.
ACTS 12:
In
Acts 11 we heard how Peter needed to defend what he did in sharing
the Gospel with Gentiles. The result was that the church leaders
joyfully accepted that God was giving salvation to more than just
the Jews. Then we heard how Barnabas visited the predominantly
Gentile believers in Antioch and then called Saul to join
him.

“You are crazy!” they told her. But she insisted that it was true.
So they answered, “It [must be//is] his [guardian]
