Acts 16:1-3
1Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,
2and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.
3Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
We often make federal cases of the smallest of things without thinking about the dissension that it causes. Timothy allowed himself to be circumcised in order to avoid dissension. To what lengths are we willing to go to avoid dissension?
