DEUTERONOMY 23-24:
Yesterday we read an odd collection of
regulations: Cleansing the land from unsolved murder, marrying a
captive woman after a war, rights of a first-born son when a man
has more than one wife, the responsibility of helping neighbors,
and various problems concerning adultery.
PSALM
61:
This is one I love to sing.
ACTS
15a:
In
Acts 14, we heard of the incredible turn of events for Paul and
Barnabas. At one moment they were hailed as gods, but after a very
short time Paul was stoned. As they tell the believers, “We have to
go through many hardships before we enter God's kingdom in
heaven.”
