Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Acts of the Apostles
(New Testament)
Acts 16
Timothy Joins Paul and Silas
16 Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek. 2 The believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. 3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey. 5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
(End of Scripture Passage)
This seems to be a contradiction to what was mentioned earlier regarding circumcision, but it really is not. Timothy submitted himself to this painful procedure in order to be able to reach more people with the message. Later on, Timothy will become a Pastor of his own church, and Paul writes at least two very encouraging letters to him, which have become part of the New Testament.

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.
