Acts 19:23-20:1
My comments in the link below from last year are worth reading, in terms of why the reading list was set up to have an Acts passage interrupt the two Corinthian epistles, but also to follow up on what we read yesterday, that Paul had reversed his earlier plan and decided to go first to Macedonia (Philippi) as he left Ephesus, then on to Achaia (Corinth) so he could spend more time in Corinth (see I Corinthians 16:5).
Now some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together. (v. 32) Strange that this verse struck me, but I was thinking that a lot of people in today’s world don’t know why they are doing what they are doing. I started twice to write different musings about this item, that people don’t know why they are doing what they are doing, but my thoughts were not hitting the mark. What is really true in my mind, however, is that we (in this group and in our church) do know why we are doing what we are doing, and we need to share that “why” at every opportunity that the Holy Spirit affords us. Just that…
