Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

When I went to Israel back in 1984, I was very careful about my clothing. The Churches and Synagogues were not shy about expecting respectful attire, and one could not walk around certain neighborhoods with bare shoulders or knees (no shorts or tank tops!). At the Western Wall, both men and women covered their heads, and these were provided if you didn't have one. In the churches, men were expected to remove their hats, and the mosques required that you remove you shoes. Even Heads of State wear a head covering when approaching the Western Wall. That's just the way it is.

While we may cringe at Timothy's decision to undergo circumcision as an adult (without anesthesia I assume) we can infer from the context that he allowed this to make him more effective in reaching all people in his community. His case was a little different because he was the child of a "mixed marriage" and his mother was Jewish. Traditionally, that meant he was too. And yet, he had never been circumcised as an infant. This could have caused scandal in his own community because people knew him and his origin.

He was unique in this regard, and the Book of Acts merely records the event without passing judgement upon it.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance..” Psalm 33 NASB

God Bless America!
