S: 8 For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles. All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
O: * both men had been given responsibility by God and they obeyed
* God called them to different things and to reach out to different people
* Those of high reputation among men are not necessarily those who are of high reputation with God.
* Apostle is one who is an ambassador of the Gospel
A: God calls us all differently and things look differently in different cultures and places. I am not to judge how others worship or question what they feel God has called them to do, unless of course it it blatantly against what the Bible says.
P: God, may I not be one who is so legalistic and judgmental, but loves and supports the work You are doing in and through others. Give me wisdom and grace to know what is from You and what is not. May I always just focus on what You have called me to do and not concern myself with how others do it.
