Today's reading comes rather timely when our country is knee deep in the presidential election season. I think the 3 errors that Stott points out in the apostles' question is something that we can all relate to on some level.
It is easy to submerge ourselves into worldly issues (politics, cultural issues of the day etc.) and fight these mini-battles as Christians and forget that God has charged us with a higher calling to further his kingdom. This is not to say that Christians should not have a voice and that we SHOULD do our part to vote responsibly---we should.
However, this is a great leveling and perspective changing passage that reminds us of what God has charged us to do and that he has equipped us with the power of his Spirit to carry out his great commission. Spread his word and his love to the ends of the earth.
