No shipwrecks, no courtroom scenes, just a man and his team on the move. Paul stopped at Cenchreae and shaved his head because of a Nazirite vow, his way of giving thanks for God's protection in Corinth. The apostle of grace freely chose to keep a Jewish tradition. He sailed to Ephesus with Priscilla and Aquila, preached briefly in the synagogue, and left them there to keep the work going while he pressed on to Jerusalem and Antioch. Then he set out again on foot, retracing the roads through Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening churches he'd already planted. Evangelism gets the headlines. Discipleship keeps the church alive. Faithfulness to what's behind you is just as spiritual as the pursuit of what's ahead. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mDCSf6VLcVTj9DA1o6CKS_loTRTZ8WlreJzhCflj8BA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84M2Mw/NjZlMTQ5MDE0MmYw/M2Q3Y2YwZmZkM2Fm/N2M4MC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
